Lexa Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Melatonin and Zolpidem which work on your brain to make you feel relaxed and sleepy. Melatonin is a natural hormone which regulates the sleep-wake cycle and helps fall asleep. Zolpidem is a sedative which works by slowing activity of the nerve cells in the brain and helps sleep for longer.

Lexa Tablet helps promote sleep in people who have difficulty sleeping. Take the tablet before going to bed. This will help the medicine to work later in the night. Do not drink alcohol while you are taking Lexa Tablet because it will reduce its effectiveness in helping you to sleep. Try to reduce the amount of caffeine you drink, especially in the afternoon and evening. Avoid eating heavy meals before bedtime. Exercise early in the day, rather than in the evening. Reduce screen time before going to bed. Keep regular sleeping hours. Create a sleeping environment by switching off lights and having an ambient room temperature. If you are unable to sleep, do not lie down on the bed worrying about it. Get up and do something you find relaxing until you feel sleepy again, then go back to bed.
