Question: are over the counter sleeping pills safe during pregnancy?
Answer: Most over-the-counter (OTC) sleeping pills contain antihistamines, which, in addition to clearing your sinuses, depress your central nervous system. This includes Excedrin P.M., Sominex, Sleep-Eze, and Unisom. Only Unisom contains a type of antihistamine that is considered relatively safe to use during pregnancy.
