Who qualifies for Circadin

Circadin is a prolonged-release melatonin used to treat primary insomnia, characterized by poor sleep quality. When an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, they look for specific criteria to ensure Circadin is safe and effective for you. This includes your medical history, current medications, and the nature of your sleep difficulties. Contraindications such as certain liver or kidney conditions, pregnancy, or breastfeeding will be carefully considered. The doctor will assess if your insomnia aligns with the indications for Circadin and if there are any underlying health issues that might make the treatment unsuitable.

What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)

Circadin works by mimicking your body's natural melatonin release, helping to regulate your sleep-wake cycle. It aids in improving sleep onset and overall sleep efficiency, especially in individuals over 55 who experience a natural decline in melatonin production. Unlike traditional sleeping pills, Circadin is not a sedative; it gently re-establishes healthy sleep patterns. It doesn't offer an instant knockout effect but rather supports your body's natural rhythm over time. Realistic timelines for improvement typically involve consistent use as prescribed, with benefits becoming more apparent after a few days to a week.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Circadin can have side effects, though it's generally well-tolerated. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, nausea, and drowsiness. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or notice any red flags such as allergic reactions or significant mood changes, you should stop taking Circadin and consult with a healthcare professional. Your Hi-Doctor account includes a private, auditable chat where you can discuss concerns directly with your prescribing doctor.
