Who qualifies for Circadin

Circadin (prolonged-release melatonin) is typically prescribed for the short-term treatment of primary insomnia characterized by poor sleep quality in patients aged 55 and older. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for specific criteria:

• Age: Generally 55 years or older.
• Diagnosis: Primary insomnia, meaning sleep difficulties are not due to other medical or psychiatric conditions, or substance use.
• Symptoms: Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing non-restorative sleep, leading to significant distress or impairment in daily functioning.
• Medical History: The doctor will assess any existing health conditions and other medications you are taking to ensure Circadin is safe and appropriate for you.
• Previous Treatments: Information on any prior attempts to manage insomnia, including lifestyle changes or other medications, helps the doctor tailor the best approach.

The doctor's primary goal is patient safety and effective treatment. If Circadin is not suitable, they will explain why, and your consultation fee is refunded.

What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)

Circadin helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. It's a prolonged-release formulation of melatonin, a hormone your body naturally produces to signal sleep. Circadin mimics this natural release, gradually providing melatonin over several hours to help you fall asleep and stay asleep more effectively. It is designed to restore a more natural sleep pattern, particularly when your body's own melatonin production is disrupted.

What Circadin does:

• Helps regulate your circadian rhythm.
• Improves sleep quality in some patients with primary insomnia, especially those over 55.
• Provides a sustained release of melatonin to mimic natural nighttime levels.

What Circadin doesn't do:

• Act as a sedative that forces sleep immediately.
• Cure underlying causes of insomnia not related to melatonin deficiency.
• Work for everyone; individual responses vary.

Realistic timelines suggest that while some improvements may be felt relatively quickly, the full therapeutic effect often develops over a few weeks as your body adjusts to the regulated melatonin levels.

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 include headache, nasopharyngitis (cold symptoms), back pain, and arthralgia (joint pain). Less common effects can include dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain. It's important to be aware of these.

When to stop or seek medical advice:

• If you experience severe or persistent side effects.
• If you develop an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, rash).
• If you notice any unusual changes in mood or behavior.
• If your insomnia worsens or does not improve after a reasonable period of treatment.

Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. If you have any concerns about side effects, you can always message the doctor via your private Hi-Doctor chat.
