This is a wonderful aid, not just to sleep, but taken with ordinary paracetamol it really helps my migraine.

This first-generation antihistamine helps sleep better than second-generation antihistamines that can still be found in pharmacies. (corrected version of my text posted earlier)

To help me sleep, I was already using second-generation antihistamines (Cetirizine), bought in pharmacies. <br/>
But these (Doxylamine Succinate), first generation antihistamines, are no longer found in pharmacies, and are finally sold on the BIOVEA website rather as a sleep aid because they do not differentiate between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Simply put, they help sleep better. <br/>
Having tested it, I can say that this product is more effective than Cetirizine in helping to sleep. <br/>
<br/>
The only drawback of this particular packaging (from the Kirkland brand), is the use of aluminium for coating (blue). Indeed, ALUMINUM is known as a NEUROTOXIC (pregnant women abstain!!!) and the tablets have a very bad taste in the mouth; as soon as the tablet touches the tongue you really have to swallow it quickly! I don't understand why this manufacturer doesn't use another dye for coating. <br/>
Sorry to tell you this downside about this product. So I encourage the BIOVEA website to find another manufacturer to sell Doxylamine Succinate. <br/>
However, for its sleep aid, it proves to be quite effective.

Good night sleep

Have been using these for a few years now and find if I have half of one tablet I manage to get a decent nights sleep. I find that I can still wake up if there is a noise or storm outside or need to get up to go to the loo, and then can fall back to sleep without a problem. I try to only have them a couple of times a week as I don't want to get to dependent on them.
