Over counter sleep aid warning heard by Senate panel
Washington Senate Small Business Subcommittee heard that widely used over the counter sleep aids and sedatives may be ineffective at recommended doses and could be hazardous in larger amounts. Dr. Anthony Kales cited studies on Sominex showing no sleep improvement, and industry spokesmen declined comment. Two products dominate the market Excedrin PM and Sominex, both containing mepthyrilene and scopolamine with mild sedative effects, if any, according to witnesses.
