  • Patent number: 5874450
    Abstract: Intranasal dosage units for promoting sleep in a mammal are disclosed. The dosage units are in the form of an aqueous buffered solution having a pH greater than 7.0, a sleep-promoting amount of Doxylamine, and an effective amount of an anionic surfactant. The anionic surfactant amount is an amount effective to provide a peak plasma concentration of Doxylamine to be reached within 30 minutes of administering the dosage unit to the nasal mucosa of a mammal. The dosage units are particularly suitable for administration to humans.
