Niaprazine (Nopron) is a piperazine derivative drug which acts as a sedating antihistamine. It was invented in the 1970s [1], and is used in France and other european countries. It is mainly prescribed for its relatively strong sedative effects rather than as an antihistamine, and is used mainly for treating autism [2] and insomnia [3] in children and adolescents.

Niaprazine half-life is 4.53 +- 0.86 hours.

Common side effects are: sedation during the day (above all during the first few days), vertigo
