Each tablet contains 25mg of diphenhydramine hydrochloride, a sedating antihistamine that causes drowsiness and helps you fall asleep.

The usual dose is two tablets taken with water approximately 20 minutes before bedtime. Do not take more than the recommended dose or take another dose during the same night.

Nytol Original usually begins to cause drowsiness within approximately 20–30 minutes, although its effects can vary between individuals.

Nytol Original is suitable for adults and children aged 16 and over. It should not be given to anyone under 16 years old.

It is intended for short-term use only. Do not take it continuously for longer than two weeks without consulting a doctor, as your body may become tolerant to its effects.

Yes, some people may feel tired, dizzy or less alert the next morning. Do not drive, cycle or operate machinery if you are affected.

Speak to a pharmacist or doctor before use if you take antidepressants, sedatives, anxiety medicines, other antihistamines or medicines that cause drowsiness. Do not combine it with another product containing diphenhydramine.
