Unisom

What is it?

Composition

The composition of Unisom includes the active component - doxylamine. This ingredient belongs to the class of antihistamines, which affect the body by reducing the effect of a natural chemical substance - histamine. As a result, symptoms such as sneezing and itching are relieved. Other components include:

• artificial colors, which give the tablets a specific color;
• fillers and binders that maintain the shape of the drug and ensure uniform release of the active substance;
• preservatives that facilitate long-term storage.

These additional components not only maintain the stability and effectiveness of the drug, but also prevent rapid disintegration, ensure Unisoms resistance to external factors and help to better absorb the main component.

How to use?

To achieve the maximum effect from using Unisom, it is important to follow the recommendations for use. First of all, the drug should be taken in conditions conducive to prolonged sleep.

1. You should take Unisom approximately 30 minutes before bedtime to ensure gradual absorption and action of the component.
2. If you experience stomach discomfort when taking it, it is recommended to take the drug with food or milk.
3. It is not recommended to take the drug if there is little time left before waking up - this can lead to malaise or severe drowsiness the next day.

These simple recommendations will help you avoid unpleasant sensations and make the most of the drugs capabilities on the way to a good nights sleep.

How does it work?

Unisom acts as an antihistamine, which effectively reduces the effects of histamine in the body. This reduces the manifestation of symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose and watery eyes, which often interfere with restful sleep. The main effect of Unisom is the ability to dull the activity of the central nervous system, creating conditions for quick and high-quality falling asleep, as well as preventing frequent night awakenings.

The mechanism of action of Unisom is to inhibit the transmission of nerve impulses that can cause brain activity at the wrong time. Due to this, a person quickly plunges into deep sleep and remains in this state longer. This not only makes it easier to fall asleep, but also improves the overall quality of sleep, which helps to increase efficiency and improve well-being the next day.

Indications

Unisom is intended for people with varying degrees of sleep difficulties. The drug helps in cases where the problem is not only in falling asleep, but also in maintaining uninterrupted sleep throughout the night. The main indications for use include:

• difficulty falling asleep due to physical or psychological factors;
• intermittent or insufficiently deep sleep due to stress or fatigue;
• restoring normal sleep patterns after changing time zones or working night shifts.

Unisom is suitable for the treatment of temporary sleep disorders, providing a comfortable and rapid restoration of normal rest patterns.

Contraindications

Like any other medication, Unisom has its contraindications that must be taken into account before starting treatment. This helps to avoid negative consequences and choose the best way to solve sleep problems. The main contraindications include:

• glaucoma, as the drug can increase intraocular pressure;
• kidney disease, which can complicate the elimination of the drug from the body;
• urination problems, which can worsen when taking Unisom;
• the presence of ulcers or obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract.

Patients with these diseases should consult a doctor before use to avoid the risk of exacerbation of existing diseases.

Side effects

There are some possible side effects when using Unisom. Although most of them are rare and go away on their own, it is important to be informed about possible reactions to the drug. The most common side effects include:

• drowsiness and dizziness during the day;
• dry mouth, throat and nose, which can cause discomfort;
• thickening of mucus in the nose or throat, which can make breathing difficult.

If you notice more serious symptoms or your reaction to the drug is too pronounced, it is recommended to seek medical help for competent advice and treatment adjustments.
