Who qualifies for Circadin

Circadin (melatonin prolonged-release) is typically prescribed for adults aged 55 years and older with primary insomnia, characterized by poor quality of sleep. When a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, they look for specific criteria:

• Age: Generally indicated for patients 55 years and older.
• Diagnosis: You must have a clear diagnosis of primary insomnia, not linked to other medical conditions or medication use.
• Symptoms: Persistent difficulties with sleep initiation, maintenance, or non-restorative sleep, impacting your daily functioning.
• Medical history: The doctor will assess your overall health, existing medical conditions, and current medications to ensure Circadin is safe and appropriate for you.
• Contraindications: Conditions such as severe liver or kidney impairment, or known hypersensitivity to melatonin or any excipients, would typically disqualify you.

The doctor's decision is always based on a thorough individual assessment to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)

Circadin contains melatonin, a hormone naturally produced by your body that helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). Its prolonged-release formulation is designed to mimic your body's natural melatonin profile, promoting sleep onset and improving sleep quality over several hours.

• Does: Circadin helps reset and regulate your natural sleep cycle, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep, particularly if your insomnia is linked to impaired melatonin production. It aims to improve the overall quality of your sleep.
• Doesn't do: Circadin is not a sedative or a 'sleeping pill' in the traditional sense; it doesn't force sleep. It works with your body's natural processes. It's not a cure for all types of insomnia, especially those caused by underlying medical conditions, lifestyle factors, or other medications. Realistic results often appear after a few days or weeks of consistent use, not instantly.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Circadin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects are generally mild and include headache, nasopharyngitis (cold symptoms), back pain, and arthralgia (joint pain). Less common but possible side effects include dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, and daytime drowsiness.

When to stop: You should stop taking Circadin and consult your doctor if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or if your insomnia symptoms worsen or do not improve after a reasonable period of treatment. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment. If the doctor determines Circadin is not appropriate for you, or if you experience adverse effects, they will advise on stopping the medication and exploring alternative solutions.
