How does it work?Sominex tablets contain the active ingredient promethazine, which is a type of medicine called a sedating antihistamine.Promethazine enters the brain in significant quantities and causes drowsiness. It decreases the time taken to fall asleep and increases the depth of sleep. This makes it helpful for the temporary relief of sleeping difficulties, for example if you have difficulty going to sleep or staying asleep because of disturbances to your normal routine.One tablet should be taken at bedtime or up to an hour after going to bed if you are having difficulty falling asleep. What is it used for?Sleep aid for temporary relief of sleeping difficulties (insomnia) in adults.
