    Dear Heleng

    Doxylamine (Unisom) is an antihistamine similar in structure to diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Because it has strong sedative properties, it is primarily used in over-the-counter sleep aids. Like other such antihistamines, it should be used only cautiously in infants and particularly in premature or term neonates due to paradoxical effects such as CNS stimulation or even sedation. Levels in breastmilk are not known but caution is recommended particularly in infants with apnea or other respiratory syndromes.

    Hope this helps! For further question please contact the InfantRisk Center at 806-352-2519.
