Who qualifies for Circadin

Circadin is a prolonged-release melatonin formulation used to treat primary insomnia, particularly for patients aged 55 and over. When you consult with our EU-licensed doctors, they look for specific criteria to ensure Circadin is safe and effective for you. This includes a clear diagnosis of primary insomnia, where sleep quality is poor or you have difficulty falling or staying asleep. The doctor also considers your age, general health, and any other medications you are taking to avoid contraindications. Circadin is generally not recommended for individuals under 55 or those with certain liver or kidney conditions, or pregnant/breastfeeding women. Your full medical history helps the doctor make an informed decision.

What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)

Circadin contains melatonin, a hormone naturally produced by your body that regulates sleep-wake cycles. When taken, Circadin helps to reset your body's natural sleep rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and improving overall sleep quality, particularly in older adults where natural melatonin production may be reduced. It is a prolonged-release formulation, meaning it slowly releases melatonin over several hours to mimic the body's natural secretion pattern. Circadin does not act as a sedative to force sleep immediately, nor is it a cure for all types of insomnia. It works best when combined with good sleep hygiene practices. You can expect to see improvements in sleep onset and quality over several weeks of consistent use, as it helps to regulate your natural sleep cycle.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Circadin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects can include headache, dizziness, nausea, and drowsiness. These are usually mild and temporary. More rarely, individuals may experience irritability, anxiety, or abdominal pain. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you experience any persistent or severe side effects. You should stop taking Circadin and seek immediate medical attention if you notice signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing). Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment, and never exceed the prescribed dose.
