Who qualifies for Circadin

Circadin is a prolonged-release melatonin formulation used to treat primary insomnia, particularly for individuals aged 55 and over, where sleep quality is poor. When reviewing your case, a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor looks for specific criteria:

• You experience persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, leading to poor sleep quality.
• Your insomnia is not primarily caused by other medical conditions, psychiatric disorders, or medication side effects.
• You are generally in good health and do not have contraindications such as severe liver or kidney impairment, or certain autoimmune conditions.
• You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, as Circadin is not recommended in these situations.

The doctor will assess your full medical history and current medications through the questionnaire to ensure Circadin is a safe and effective option for you.

What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)

Circadin works by mimicking the natural hormone melatonin, which your body produces to regulate sleep-wake cycles. It's designed for prolonged release, meaning it slowly releases melatonin over several hours to help you fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night. It aims to restore your natural circadian rhythm, improving sleep onset and overall sleep quality, especially in older adults whose natural melatonin production may be reduced.

It's important to understand that Circadin is not a sedative or a quick fix for all types of insomnia. It works best when your sleep problems are linked to a disruption in your natural sleep-wake cycle. You may not experience immediate dramatic results, as it often takes a few weeks of consistent use for its full benefits to become apparent. Circadin does not treat underlying causes of insomnia, such as stress, anxiety, or pain, which may require different interventions.

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 may include headache, dizziness, nausea, and drowsiness. These often subside as your body adjusts to the medication.

You should stop taking Circadin and consult a doctor immediately if you experience:

• Signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or severe rash.
• Unusual or disturbing changes in mood or behavior.
• Persistent or severe headaches, dizziness, or gastrointestinal issues.
• Any other severe or unexpected symptoms.

Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. Do not exceed the prescribed dose. If you are concerned about any side effects, or if your insomnia does not improve, discuss this with your Hi-Doctor EU-licensed doctor.
