Who qualifies for Circadin

Circadin is a prolonged-release melatonin formulation prescribed for primary insomnia, specifically in individuals aged 55 and over who experience poor sleep quality. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for:

• A clear diagnosis of primary insomnia.
• Age 55 or older.
• No contraindications or significant interactions with your current medications.
• A history indicating that other sleep hygiene measures have not been sufficient.

The EU-licensed doctor will assess your full medical history and current health status through your online questionnaire to ensure Circadin is safe and appropriate for you.

What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)

Circadin contains prolonged-release melatonin, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating your body's sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm). Unlike over-the-counter melatonin, Circadin is designed to release melatonin slowly over several hours, mimicking your body's natural melatonin production at night. It helps to re-establish a healthy sleep pattern and improve sleep quality for those suffering from primary insomnia.

It's important to understand that Circadin is not a sedative or an instant sleep aid. It works by adjusting your body's natural rhythm. You might not feel immediate effects, and it's typically used for a few weeks or months to help reset your sleep cycle, not as a long-term solution for all types of insomnia. It doesn't address underlying issues like stress or anxiety, which may also contribute to sleep problems.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Circadin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects can include headaches, dizziness, or nausea. Less common effects might include abdominal pain, dry mouth, or changes in mood. It's crucial to report any unusual or severe symptoms to your doctor immediately.

You should stop taking Circadin and consult a doctor if you experience signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing), persistent dizziness, or significant mood changes. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment and discuss any concerns before you discontinue the medication.
