Take 1 tablet of Dormirel 25 mg a day with a little water, preferably about 30 minutes before going to bed, without exceeding the maximum dose of 1 tablet a day, which is equivalent to 25 mg of doxylamide.

If drowsiness occurs with the use of this medicine, it is advisable to reduce the dose or to advance the time of taking the medicine so that at least 8 hours have elapsed. The duration of treatment should not exceed 7 days.
