A member asked:
Every night i take the drowsy gravol for sleep, will there be long term side affects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gravol: This over the counter antihistamine,taken once nightly, in my opinion will have no long term adverse effects as long as you don't drink alcohol with it or take other sedative type medications as increased sedation would be likely at the time or shortly thereafter. It will most likely become habit forming as a sleep aid but not truly addictive.
