Whats the difference between MELLODYN and over-the-counter sleep medications?
Over-the-counter sleep medications contain antihistamine drugs similar to those taken for allergies and colds. While these drugs are safe and do induce drowsiness for most people, they sometimes produce unpleasant mental side effects such as confusion and paranoia. Moreover, they can be habit-forming when taken on a regular basis. If taken every night for many weeks, you may develop a tolerance and require higher doses to achieve the same effects. MELLODYN, on the other hand, contains natural ingredients that work with your body’s own sleep-wake cycle to promote healthy, restful sleep patterns. Unpleasant mental side effects are unlikely, and MELLODYN is not habit-forming and can safely be taken on a regular basis.
