Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Pedirest Syrup is a sedative-hypnotic used to treat short-term insomnia (the inability to fall asleep). Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that causes problems falling asleep or staying asleep. It can be caused due to poor sleeping habits, stress, anxiety, physical pain, neurological problems, or other mental health disorders.
Pedirest Syrup works by increasing the levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical messenger in the brain that is a natural nerve-calming agent. This chemical messenger calms down the excessive or abnormal activity of the brain and helps in inducing sleep. It also helps relax muscles and alleviates anxiety, which helps the person stay asleep.
