Who qualifies for Circadin

Circadin is a prolonged-release melatonin formulation used to treat primary insomnia characterised by poor quality of sleep in patients aged 55 years and over. The doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure Circadin is appropriate for your health needs. This includes a detailed review of your medical history, current medications, and the nature of your sleep difficulties. Contraindications may include certain liver or kidney conditions, autoimmune diseases, or concurrent use of specific medications. The doctor will assess if you meet the age requirement and if your insomnia is primary, meaning it's not caused by other medical or mental conditions.

What Circadin actually does (and doesn't do)

Circadin contains melatonin, a hormone naturally produced by your body that helps regulate sleep-wake cycles. The prolonged-release formulation mimics your body's natural melatonin profile, helping to restore normal sleep patterns. It helps you fall asleep more easily and improves sleep quality, particularly for individuals whose natural melatonin production may be reduced with age. Circadin is not a sedative; it works by re-synchronising your internal body clock. It doesn't instantly 'knock you out' but gently supports your body's natural sleep processes over time. While it can improve sleep, it's most effective when combined with good sleep hygiene practices.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Circadin can have 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, you might experience allergic reactions, chest pain, or mood changes. It's crucial to inform your doctor about any unusual or severe side effects. You should stop taking Circadin and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing), persistent dizziness, or significant mood disturbances. Always follow your doctor's advice on when and how to discontinue treatment.
