GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions
General information cannot replace advice from your prescriber or pharmacist.
What are sleep medicines used for?
They may be prescribed for short-term severe insomnia when a clinician decides the expected benefits outweigh the risks.
Can sleep medicines be taken every night?
Many prescription sleeping medicines are recommended only for short courses because tolerance and dependence can develop.
Can sleep medicines cause next-day drowsiness?
Yes. Do not drive or operate machinery if you remain sleepy, dizzy or unable to concentrate.
