Doxylamine is a member of the ethanolamine class of antihistamines and is the second most powerful antihistamine available (after diphenhydramine, the main ingredient in Benadryl). Although second in allergy-fighting power, it is first in sedating power (amongst the OTC drugs), making it a popular choice for sleep medications.
When combined with vitamin B6, it is also used to treat morning-sickness in pregnant women.

This is what must be missing from my "Non-Drowsy" Claritin.

Goodness that is good to know, I may have to put my weekly nude romps through the woods on hold until I can confirm my only predators are the coyotes who feed on the neighborhood cats.
Make sure you tell BJ as well.
