Common use
Doxylamine is used to treat sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, hives, skin rash, itching, and other cold or allergy symptoms. Doxylamine is also used as a short-term treatment for sleep problems (insomnia). Doxylamine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take doxylamine if you have other medical conditions, especially: glaucoma; an enlarged prostate; problems with urination; or asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or other chronic lung disease.
