Follow the doctor's advice and use sleeping pills scientifically😷😷😷

To treat insomnia, we should follow the doctor's advice and use sleeping pills scientifically.

Using the hypnotic drugs requires detailed analysis and evaluation by doctors. The patients with insomnia should not use the hypnotic drugs by themselves without the prescriptions. They should have a comprehensive treatment method under the guidance of doctors and pharmacists.

The hypnotic drugs should start with a small dose and the dose should not be easily adjusted after achieving the effective dose. It should be administered as required, intermittently and in sufficient amount. For the special populations such as children, pregnant women, lactating women, as well as patients with liver or kidney damage, severe sleep apnea syndrome or myasthenia gravis, it is not suitable to use sleeping medications.

The treatment program of hypnotic drugs is generally shorter than 4 weeks. If the drug intervention is over 4 weeks, the patient need to go to the hospital for the regular evaluation at least every month.
