June 2025 Health Insights: Unisom Sleep Aid & Prevacid Essentials
If you browsed our site in June, you probably saw two pieces that cut straight to the chase. One broke down how Unisom works as an over‑the‑counter sleep aid and what you should watch out for. The other gave a no‑fluff rundown of Prevacid (lansoprazole), the acid‑reflux pill many Canadians rely on.
Unisom Sleep Aid – What You Need to Know
Unisom contains diphenhydramine, the same antihistamine that shows up in allergy meds. That’s why it can make you drowsy enough to fall asleep. The article explains the right dosage (usually 25 mg for adults), how long it stays active (about 4‑6 hours), and when it’s best to take it – ideally 30 minutes before bedtime.
Side effects get a straight‑talk treatment too. Common complaints are dry mouth, grogginess next morning, and occasional dizziness. The piece also flags who should avoid Unisom: people on MAO inhibitors, pregnant or nursing moms, and anyone with severe asthma or glaucoma.
Smart use tips round out the guide. For example, pairing Unisom with a cool, dark bedroom can boost its effectiveness without upping the dose. And if you find yourself needing it more than twice a week, that’s a signal to talk to a doctor about underlying sleep issues.
Prevacid (Lansoprazole) – Quick Facts & Tips
Prevacid is a proton‑pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid production. The June post walks you through why it’s prescribed for heartburn, GERD, and even ulcer prevention after NSAID use.
Dosage basics are clear: 15 mg or 30 mg tablets taken before the first meal of the day. The article stresses that timing matters – taking it too late can blunt its effect because it needs to block acid pumps before they’re fully active.
Side effects get a realistic look. Most users feel fine, but some report headache, nausea, or mild diarrhea. Long‑term use (over a year) might lower magnesium levels, so the guide suggests an annual blood test if you stay on Prevacid for months at a time.
Practical advice includes not crushing the tablet and storing it in a dry place to keep potency intact. If you’re switching from another PPI, a short overlap period can prevent rebound acid symptoms.
Both articles aim to give you actionable info without drowning you in medical jargon. Whether you’re hunting for better sleep or trying to tame that burning chest feeling, these June pieces provide the quick answers most people need.
