What is REALS NIGHT AID?
REALS NIGHT AID is a trusted pharmaceutical solution for those experiencing temporary sleep disturbances or occasional insomnia. As an effective over-the-counter sleeping medicine in Nigeria, it helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, ensuring you wake up feeling refreshed. Each film-coated tablet contains 50mg of Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride BP, a sedating antihistamine.
How it Works
The active ingredient, Diphenhydramine, is a first-generation antihistamine that crosses the blood-brain barrier. It works by blocking histamine receptors in the brain, which induces a calming, sedative effect. This makes it ideal for short-term relief when stress, travel, or minor aches disrupt your sleep cycle.
Key Benefits
- Fast-Acting Relief: Helps reduce the time taken to fall asleep (sleep latency).
- Dual Action: Also manages allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
- Restorative Sleep: Helps maintain a steady sleep cycle for occasional sleeplessness.
Dosage and Administration
For adults and children over 16 years: Take one 50mg tablet approximately 20 to 30 minutes before bedtime.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose.
- Avoid using for more than two weeks without consulting a GoMed pharmacist or doctor.
- Do not consume alcohol while using this medication as it increases the sedative effect.
Precautions & Side Effects
REALS NIGHT AID causes significant drowsiness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking a dose. Common side effects may include:
- Dry mouth or throat.
- Dizziness or blurred vision.
- Grogginess the following morning if you do not get a full night's sleep (7-8 hours).
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have underlying health conditions like glaucoma or prostate issues, please speak with a healthcare professional before use.
