Peculiarities of pharmaceutical care when dispensing doxylamine-based hypnotics in Moroccan pharmacies

Abstract

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder affecting approximately 10–30% of the global population, with prevalence rates varying according to geographic location, age, and gender. In Morocco, as in many other countries, the incidence of insomnia has been increasing, particularly in urban environments. This rise is attributed to various factors, including elevated stress levels, lifestyle modifications, and the growing use of digital technologies. On a global scale, the World Health Organization (WHO) identifies insomnia as one of the most prevalent sleep disorders, with significant implications for both physical and mental health.
