Sominex is GlaxoSmithKline's trademarked name for diphenhydramine, marketed in the United States as an over the counter sleep aid. Diphenhydramine is approved by the FDA as an antihistamine as well as a sleep aid, and is most commonly known in the US as Benadryl, and many generic 'allergy tablets,' available as a house brand in most grocery and drug stores.
Promethazine hydrochloride is the antihistamine ingredient in the UK version of Sominex, and is also sold OTC.
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.
