Who qualifies for Circadin

Circadin is specifically for the short-term treatment of primary insomnia, characterized by poor sleep quality, in patients who are 55 years or older. Our EU-licensed doctors carefully assess your medical history, current medications, and sleep patterns. They look for clear indications of primary insomnia and ensure there are no contraindications that would make Circadin unsuitable or unsafe for you. Age is a key factor, as Circadin targets age-related declines in natural melatonin production.

What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)

Circadin is a prolonged-release formulation of melatonin, a hormone naturally produced by your body to regulate the sleep-wake cycle. It works by supplementing your natural melatonin levels, helping to reset your circadian rhythm and improve sleep quality. It is not a sedative or a sleeping pill that forces you to sleep instantly. Instead, it gently helps your body prepare for sleep over time. You should expect to see improvements in sleep quality gradually, typically within a few days to weeks of consistent use, rather than immediate effects.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Circadin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include headache, dizziness, and nausea. Less common effects might include abdominal pain, dry mouth, or asthenia. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or any signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing), you should stop taking Circadin immediately and seek urgent medical attention. Always discuss any concerns with your doctor.
