Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When should I choose 50 mg over 25 mg?
The 50 mg dose is typically reserved for adults who find the standard 25 mg dose insufficient for severe allergy symptoms, or for those using the medication as a nighttime sleep aid. Always consult your doctor before increasing your dosage.
What is the benefit of a "banded" capsule?
Banding is a process where a seal is placed around the center of the capsule. This is a common requirement in hospital and long-term care environments because it provides a clear indication if the medication has been tampered with.
Is this the same as ZzzQuil® or other sleep aids?
Many over-the-counter sleep aids use Diphenhydramine HCl as their active ingredient. At 50 mg, these capsules provide the same clinical strength used in most "PM" or nighttime sleep medications.
