Circadin Medical Information
The active substance of Circadin, melatonin, belongs to a natural group of hormones produced by the body.
Circadin is used on its own for the short-term treatment of primary insomnia (persistent difficulty in getting to sleep or staying asleep, or poor quality of sleep). ‘Primary’ means that the insomnia does not have any identified cause, including any medical, mental or environmental cause.
Circadin is also used for jetlag.
The recommended dose is one Circadin tablet (2 mg) taken daily by mouth, after food, 1-2 hours before bedtime.
This dosage may be continued for up to thirteen weeks.
You should swallow the tablet whole.
Circadin tablets should not be crushed or cut in half.
