Who qualifies for Circadin
Circadin (prolonged-release melatonin) is typically prescribed for the short-term treatment of primary insomnia, characterised by poor sleep quality, especially in patients aged 55 and over. When reviewing your case, the EU-licensed doctor looks for specific criteria:
- Age: Generally indicated for patients 55 years and older.
- Diagnosis: Primary insomnia, meaning sleep difficulties are not caused by other medical conditions, psychiatric disorders, or medication use.
- Symptoms: Persistent difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing non-restorative sleep, leading to daytime impairment.
- Medical History: The doctor will assess your overall health, current medications, and any contraindications to ensure Circadin is safe and appropriate for you.
The doctor remains the gatekeeper; they will only issue a prescription if they find the treatment medically appropriate for your specific situation.
What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)
Circadin works by supplementing your body's natural melatonin, a hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. As we age, natural melatonin production can decrease, contributing to insomnia. Circadin is a prolonged-release formulation, designed to mimic your body's natural nighttime melatonin secretion, helping to improve sleep quality. It is not a sedative or a traditional sleeping pill. It helps to re-establish a more natural sleep rhythm over time.
What it does: Helps to improve the quality of sleep, particularly for individuals struggling with primary insomnia and decreased natural melatonin production. It aims to restore a more normal sleep pattern. What it doesn't do: It is not a quick-acting sedative for immediate sleep. It does not cure underlying causes of insomnia, nor is it intended for long-term use beyond three weeks without medical re-evaluation.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Circadin can have side effects. Most are mild and temporary. Common side effects include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and drowsiness. Less common but more serious side effects can include depression, anxiety, or changes in blood pressure. It is crucial to inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions or other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
When to stop: If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if your insomnia worsens, contact your doctor immediately. Circadin is typically prescribed for short-term use (up to 3 weeks). If your sleep problems persist after this period, you should consult with your doctor to explore alternative or continued strategies.
