Circadin

Product Description

Circadin 2mg tablets is a clinically effective treatment for primary insomnia, specifically characterized by poor quality of sleep. It is particularly beneficial for patients aged 55 and over, where natural melatonin production has decreased. As a prolonged-release tablet, Circadin is designed to release melatonin gradually over several hours, mimicking the body’s natural secretion patterns to help regulate your internal body clock (circadian rhythm).

How Circadin Works
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It is responsible for signaling to the body that it is time to sleep. As we age, the production of this hormone declines, leading to fragmented sleep or difficulty drifting off.

Circadin supplements these levels. However, unlike immediate-release melatonin supplements found in some health stores, Circadin 2mg prolonged-release tablets dissolve slowly. This ensures that therapeutic levels of melatonin are maintained in the bloodstream throughout the night, preventing early waking and promoting a deeper, more restorative rest.

Dosage and Usage
Circadin is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM). The recommended dose is one 2mg tablet taken once daily, 1 to 2 hours before bedtime and after food. The tablet must be swallowed whole to maintain the prolonged-release mechanism; crushing or chewing the tablet will affect efficacy.

Why Choose Circadin?

Non-Addictive: Unlike benzodiazepines or Z-drugs, Circadin has a low potential for dependence or withdrawal symptoms.
No “Hangover”: Most patients do not experience impaired daytime performance when taken correctly.
Natural Mechanism: It works with your biology, not against it, to reset your sleep-wake cycle.
