Who qualifies for Circadin

Circadin (prolonged-release melatonin) is typically prescribed to adults aged 55 and over for the short-term treatment of primary insomnia, which is poor sleep quality not caused by other medical or psychiatric conditions. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for specific criteria:

• You must be an adult, generally 55 years or older, experiencing persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
• Your insomnia should be primary, meaning it's not a symptom of another health issue, medication, or substance abuse.
• You should not have any known allergies to melatonin or other ingredients in Circadin.
• The doctor will assess your full medical history to ensure there are no contraindications such as severe liver or kidney impairment, or if you are taking medications that could interact negatively with Circadin.

The doctor's goal is to ensure Circadin is safe and effective for your specific situation before issuing a prescription.

What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)

Circadin is a synthetic version of melatonin, a natural hormone produced by your body that helps regulate sleep-wake cycles (circadian rhythm). It works by slowly releasing melatonin over several hours, mimicking your body's natural nighttime melatonin release. This helps to promote a more natural sleep pattern, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

What it does:

• Helps to re-establish a healthy sleep-wake cycle in individuals with primary insomnia, particularly those aged 55 and over.
• Can improve sleep quality and morning alertness.
• Unlike some traditional sleeping pills, it's not typically associated with dependence or withdrawal symptoms.

What it doesn't do:

• It's not a quick-acting sedative designed to make you fall asleep instantly. Its effects build up over time.
• It may not be effective for insomnia caused by underlying conditions like sleep apnoea, restless legs syndrome, or mental health disorders.
• It's not a cure for all types of sleep problems, and lifestyle adjustments remain crucial for long-term sleep health.

Realistic timelines suggest that you may start to notice improvements in sleep within a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent use, but the full benefits consolidate over time.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Circadin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Most side effects are mild and temporary. Common side effects may include headaches, nasopharyngitis (cold-like symptoms), back pain, and arthralgia (joint pain). Less common but possible side effects include dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, dry mouth, and daytime sleepiness.

When to stop Circadin or seek medical attention:

• If you experience a severe allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, severe rash or itching), stop taking Circadin immediately and seek urgent medical help.
• If you develop any severe or persistent side effects, such as mood changes, depression, or significant daytime drowsiness that affects your daily activities, discuss this with your doctor.
• If your insomnia worsens or does not improve after the recommended course of treatment, consult your doctor to explore other options.

Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
