Is it safe to help yourself to Gravol as a sleep aid?
Answers:
Gravol is intended as a drug to treat nausea, not as a anaesthetic. It is generally a perfect idea to use drugs merely for their label use. There are various less need forming sleep aids available on the market right very soon that would likely be more successful than using Gravol.
As a matter of reality, there is one medication specifically packaged contained by two ways (same dose, same pill) for different uses. It is an antihistamine (stops itching) and a sedative. It is used as a smaller amount potent sedative for children undergo chemotherapy so they can sleep through their treatments and is available in every pharmacy and most other places you can acquire cold/allergy meds. Its drug name is diphenhydramine hydrochloride but it is better specified as Benadryl. The reason I am bringing this up is an interesting one...if you buy the diphenhydramine package as a sleep aid, you'll pay more for it (by roughly 50%) than if you buy the generic antihistamine.
If your husband must use something to help him sleep, this is an resort. However, learning some sleep hygiene skills may serve him resourcefully down the road. If you are interested in herbal preparations, in some areas, Melatonin is available from your pharmacist as a sleep aid as well.
The best choice, however, is to own him talk to his doc and see if in that is something that is specifically designed as a sleep aid and is not dependence forming - reliance on any form of medication to sleep is frustrating and counter-productive.
