Warnings

The usual dose for adults and children 12 years of age and older to help with sleep is 25 mg to 50 mg taken by mouth at bedtime. Some people may only need to take 25 mg at bedtime if they are drowsy in the morning (e.g., they find it interferes with their daily activities) after taking the 50 mg dose.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Zzzquil Liquid exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Store Zzzquil Liquid at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Zzzquil Liquid.

Bladder or urinary problems: Diphenhydramine can worsen symptoms of bladder problems. If you have a history of bladder problems, discuss with your doctor how Zzzquil Liquid may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Zzzquil Liquid, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Avoid driving or operating machinery until you have determined that you do not become drowsy during the day or experience impaired mental or physical abilities while taking Zzzquil Liquid.

If you have lung problems such as asthma or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) (COPD), discuss with your doctor how Zzzquil Liquid may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Zzzquil Liquid, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Medical conditions: For some people, insomnia is caused by other medical conditions. If you have trouble sleeping for longer than 2 weeks, contact your doctor before taking Zzzquil Liquid.

Thyroid disease: People with thyroid disease should discuss with their doctor how Zzzquil Liquid may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Zzzquil Liquid, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Pregnancy: Zzzquil Liquid should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
