Sominex Tablets Pack of 16

Sominex Tablets provide effective temporary relief for adults experiencing sleeping difficulties, often known as insomnia. The key to its effectiveness is Promethazine Hydrochloride, a sedating antihistamine that works by entering the brain and inducing drowsiness. This action helps to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and enhances the depth of your sleep, making it particularly useful when your normal routine is disturbed.

How Sominex Tablets Work

The active ingredient, Promethazine Hydrochloride, is a first-generation antihistamine that crosses the blood-brain barrier in significant amounts. This causes its sedative effects, which are beneficial for short-term insomnia relief. By promoting drowsiness, Sominex Tablets Pack of 16 helps to reset your sleep pattern when you're struggling to drift off or stay asleep due to temporary factors like stress, travel, or changes in routine.

This medicine may interfere with some pregnancy tests, causing false negative or false positive results.
