Unisom® SleepTabs® active ingredient, doxylamine succinate, is a non-habit forming antihistamine that blocks certain natural substances (histamine, acetylcholine) that your body makes. The lack of histamine causes you to get drowsy and fall asleep quicker. As a result, you’ll get a good night’s sleep from Unisom® tablets.
