Silenor (active ingredient: doxepin HCL) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Insomnia: Silenor is used for the treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep maintenance.

Silenor belongs to a class of drugs known as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), which work by inhibiting the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters, including histamine, to help promote sleep and improve sleep quality.

Silenor is typically taken once nightly by mouth as a tablet, within 30 minutes before bedtime on an empty stomach, or as directed by your doctor. To prevent delays in the medication’s effects, do not take it within 3 hours of a meal. It is recommended to obtain a full night’s sleep (7-8 hours) before engaging in any activities that require alertness.

The dosage of Silenor is based on factors such as age, medical condition, and response to therapy. Do not exceed 6 milligrams per day.

The recommended starting dose of Silenor (Doxepin HCL) for adults with insomnia is typically 3 mg as a single dose at bedtime. The starting dose may be increased by your doctor as needed and tolerated up to a maximum dose of 6 mg once daily. Elderly patients, patients with hepatic or renal impairment, and patients taking certain medications may require a lower dose. Ultimately, the recommended dosage of Silenor will depend on your individual circumstances, medical history, and other factors, and should be determined by your doctor. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and to let them know about all the products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products.
