Do sleeping pills affect gastrointestinal function?

There are many types of sleeping pills, but most sleeping pills generally affect the function of the stomach and intestines, causing some irritation to the stomach and intestines.
When oral sleeping pills are digested in the stomach, the substances released by themselves will cause damage to the gastric mucosa due to irritation, thus causing gastric ulcers, gastritis and other diseases. Especially for those who suffer from stomach diseases, the damage is greater. Therefore, before taking sleeping pills, you can take some food in advance, so as to reduce the contact area between the drug and the gastric mucosa, and reduce the stimulation of sleeping pills on the stomach.
Sleeping pills have a certain dependence effect, long-term use of sleeping pills is easy to produce addiction. When patients have poor sleep quality, they can regulate their sleep by exercising more, drinking milk before going to bed, listening to soft music, etc. If the effect is not obvious or ineffective, then consider taking sleeping pills.
Sleeping pills are prescription drugs and should not be used blindly. It is recommended that patients take them under the guidance of a doctor according to their own conditions to avoid causing damage to the nervous system.
