How does this medicine work?

Unisom works by reducing histamine levels, which promotes relaxation of the nervous system and promotes restful sleep. The active ingredient, doxylamine, blocks the action of histamine in the body, which can cause allergy symptoms and sleep disturbances, such as itching, irritation, or hyperactivity. This leads to a decrease in nervous system activity, making it easier to fall asleep than under normal conditions.

Furthermore, doxylamine has a sedative effect, allowing Unisom to quickly relax muscles and reduce anxiety, making it especially beneficial for those who frequently have trouble falling asleep due to stress or excessive daytime activity. When combined with a proper daily routine and relaxing pre-sleep routines, the drugs effectiveness is significantly enhanced.
