Is Cypon Safe To Be Given For Disturbed Sleep In Infants?

Hi Doctor, We told to our padetrician that our 3 weeks baby is not sleeping well. She prescribed cypon drops 0.3 ml. We gave just 2 drops and baby is sleeping after an hour of medicine. Will it cause any problems like prolonged sleep or anything else? We have decided not to give these medicines any more.we are giving just vitamin drops 0.5ml.we are scaring a lot. Kindly reply.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Cypon should not be used. It is 1st generation anti-histaminic, so it is not recommended for sleep induction. Moreover, 3 weeks baby should not be given medicines for sleep.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
