Can I take an over the counter sleep aid while on antibiotics?

I’m on generic augmentin for a sinus infection right now and I want to take a Kirkland sleep aid (doxylamine succinate) to ensure I am knocked out tonight. Is this safe?

I wouldn’t recommend taking OTC medications while also taking prescription drugs. I’d ask your physician before you do.

It doesn’t seem like there is an interaction but call a 24 hour pharmacy and ask the pharmacist.
