Sominex is a trademarked name for two over the counter sleep aids. In the United States diphenhydramine is marketed under this name by GlaxoSmithKline,[1] which is selling the brand to Prestige Brands.[2] In the UK Actavis UK markets Promethazine hydrochloride under the Sominex brand.[3]
Sominex is also the name of a song written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman for the hit musical Little Shop of Horrors. The song was not used in the film of the same name because Seymour and Audrey survive the plant's mischievous antics.[citation needed]
