Who qualifies for Circadin

Circadin is a prolonged-release melatonin formulation typically prescribed for adults aged 55 and older who suffer from primary insomnia, characterized by poor sleep quality. When reviewing your case, our doctors look for a clear diagnosis of primary insomnia and assess your overall health to ensure Circadin is safe and effective for you. They will consider your medical history, any other medications you are taking, and potential contraindications. Circadin is not a general sleeping pill and is specifically indicated for chronic insomnia in this age group.

What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)

Circadin contains melatonin, a hormone naturally produced by your body to regulate your sleep-wake cycle. It works by mimicking this natural process, helping to improve the quality of your sleep, reduce the time it takes to fall asleep (sleep latency), and increase overall sleep duration. It's designed to re-synchronize your body's natural rhythm. Circadin is not a sedative that forces sleep; instead, it supports your body's natural sleep processes. It typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks to experience the full benefits, and it's not intended for immediate, one-off use.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Circadin can have side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects are generally mild and may include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and drowsiness. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as allergic reactions, mood changes, or unusual dreams, you should stop taking Circadin and consult a doctor immediately. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and inform them of any concerns during your treatment.
