My mom bought some Alkerselzer (sp?) and it doesn't say that it is drowsy; but both my brother and her took it and they went to sleep. Shouldn't medicine say when they are drowsy and if so where is it supposed to be on the label?

Generally, medicines do say when they cause drowsiness on the label, in the section that contains warnings. Sometimes medicines that aren't expected to cause drowsiness will cause it for some people. Or maybe your mom and your brother just needed to rest to help with whatever was making them sick. I hope they're feeling better soon.

If that is what made them drowsy the label would have said so. Did they take anything else? I know when I take certain medicines together I get very sleepy. Or maybe since they arent feeling good that is why they fell asleep. Sleep is one of the body's ways of healing

They are just being Lazy.JK. Chemicals have different reactions in all systems. I'd recommend they stop taking it and go see a Doctor for possible liver damage!
