My mother has been taking Laprose Tablet and Trinicalm Plus Tablet for 20 years, but they are now difficult to find. She suffers from a sleep disorder. Are there any safer alternative medicines?
Safer alternatives for managing sleep problems may include low-dose eszopiclone, doxepin, or melatonin, which are generally considered safer for long-term use under medical supervision. Non-drug approaches, such as good sleep habits and cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), may also help. Any change should be made gradually under a doctor?s guidance to avoid withdrawal or other side effects.
