  • Applications

    Donormil (CAS 562-10-7) is primarily used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in sedating antihistamine sleep aids and nighttime cold/flu formulations, commonly appearing in OTC products to help onset of sleep and relieve allergy symptoms; in pharmaceutical manufacturing it is formulated as the active component in tablets or capsules, and is often included in combination products with analgesics or decongestants where permitted; in drug development and medicinal chemistry it is studied as an antihistamine lead compound and reference for H1 receptor antagonism; outside core therapeutics, it may be evaluated in formulation research and development to optimize release profiles while adhering to local regulatory limits.
