Drug Interactions

Doxylamine can increase the effects of medications that slow down the brain and nervous system, such as alcohol, sleeping pills, painkillers with opioids, anti-anxiety drugs, and antipsychotics. It can also interact with medicines like atropine, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and MAOIs. Doxylamine may hide the signs of ear damage (ototoxicity) caused by certain antibiotics called aminoglycosides. People taking INH, penicillamine, or oral contraceptives (OC) may need more vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). Pyridoxine can make drugs like levodopa, phenobarbital, and phenytoin less effective.

Contraindications

Do not use if you have severe liver disease. Avoid alcohol. Not recommended for premature or newborn babies.

Mode of actions

Doxylamine is an antihistamine that comes from a group of chemicals called monoethanolamines. It has strong sedative (sleep-inducing) and antimuscarinic (drying) effects. Doxylamine works by blocking H1 receptors in the body, and it also has anticholinergic properties. These effects help reduce signals in the inner ear (labyrinthine function), block nausea centers in the brain, and lessen dizziness and motion sickness.
