이지퀼나잇액 Liquid Sleep Aid: Ingredients and Precautions

​

Hello, this is Dad Pharmacist at Suwon Star Pharmacy.

​

​

In December, the days grow shorter and year-end schedules pile up,

making it an easy time for sleep rhythms to be disrupted.

​

These days at the pharmacy,

"My body is tired, but I can't fall asleep"

"When I lie down to sleep, my mind becomes wide awake"

are the kinds of consultations we've been hearing much more frequently.

​

For temporary situations

where it's hard to fall asleep, it is used to induce sleep through a sedative effect..

​

​

Today we'd like to introduce in detail

the new 이지퀼나잇액 (Easyquil Night), an over-the-counter medicine for temporary relief of insomnia.

​

​

​

이지퀼나잇액 is

an over-the-counter medicine based on a single dose of diphenhydramine hydrochloride 50mg per 1 administration,

intended for temporary relief of insomnia.

​

Diphenhydramine is an ingredient that has been widely used for many years,

for temporary situations where it is difficult to fall asleep,

and through its sedative effect, for temporary situations where it is difficult to fall asleep,

it is used to temporarily induce sleep.

​

However, this medicine is not intended for long-term use,

and is meant for times when your daily routine has been temporarily disrupted —

it serves as a temporary option to ease the difficulty of falling asleep.

​

The newly launched 이지퀼나잇액 is

notable for being released as a liquid in 1-dose individual single-serve packets.

It offers the convenience of being taken without water,

and is portable enough to bring along on trips.

​

​

Temporary relief of insomnia

This medicine does not treat the underlying cause of insomnia,

It is intended to relieve temporary difficulty falling asleep due to insomnia.

​

​

​

Take 1 sachet (50mg) before bedtime

If the sedative effect feels too strong,

you may reduce the dose to ½ sachet (25mg) within the adult 1-dose range

before taking it.

​

Do not take after drinking alcohol,

Do not use if you plan to drive,

These are safety precautions that must be strictly followed.

​

​

Diphenhydramine is an ingredient more commonly known in tablet and soft-capsule forms.

​

However, with the addition of a liquid formulation like 이지퀼나잇액, the range of options has expanded.

​

1. Tablet form: A familiar format that is easy to carry and provides a consistent dose (e.g., 슬리펠정)

2. Soft capsule form: Easy to swallow with a smooth feel going down, absorbed faster than tablets. (쿨드림연질캡슐)

3. Liquid form: Can be taken easily without water, with the advantage of dose adjustment to 1/2 sachet, allowing fine-tuned adjustment for each individual.

​

Since all three formulations are based on the same ingredient, this does not represent a difference in the superiority or inferiority of efficacy.

The greatest advantage is that you can choose the form that is most convenient for you to take, based on the characteristics of each formulation.

​

At the pharmacy, we check for any difficulty swallowing, ease of use, and previous experience with the medication to guide you toward the formulation that will be most comfortable for you.

The following situations are contraindications for use,

so consulting a pharmacist is essential.

​

▶ If you have had a hypersensitivity reaction to the ingredient

▶ Patients with glaucoma

▶ Those with breathing difficulties due to asthma attacks, emphysema, or chronic bronchitis

​

In addition,

elderly individuals, those at risk of respiratory depression, and those with underlying conditions

should have a pharmacist assess their suitability before use.

​

​

​

Based on pharmacy consultations, the most common patterns are as follows:

​

1) Year-end stress and overwork

Stress and overload tend to build up at this time of year, as we approach the end of the year.

​

2) Irregular bedtimes

Late nights at work and year-end gatherings can disrupt your daily rhythm.

​

3) Heating and dry air

Some people find it harder to get a good night's sleep due to changes in body temperature and dry indoor air.

​

At times like these, having an option that temporarily helps you establish a bedtime routine

can make it easier to get through an uncomfortable night.

​

may overlap with other cold medicines or allergy medications,

so it is important to use them safely by consulting a pharmacist.

​

​

​

There are many reasons why sleep can be disrupted in December,

but if your daily routine has temporarily gone off track,

an OTC medicine that provides temporary support before bedtime

may help ease the difficulty of falling asleep.

​

이지퀼나잇액

is for cases where temporary insomnia makes it hard to fall asleep,

and is an OTC medicine that can be selected after consulting a pharmacist.

​

It is the first liquid-form product of its kind to be launched in South Korea,
