Meladura (Melatonin)

Melatonin acts as an agonist at MT1 and MT2 receptors in the brain’s suprachiasmatic nucleus. By binding these receptors, it signals darkness to the body, helping to shift and synchronize the internal clock, which promotes sleep onset and stabilises sleep patterns.

The appropriate dose of Meladura is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the individual’s age, condition, and response. Dosage may vary, and patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their healthcare professional.

Safety data for melatonin in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their physician before using Meladura.

To request Meladura, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Meladura (melatonin) differs from traditional hypnotics such as benzodiazepines or Z‑drugs because it works by mimicking the body’s natural hormone rather than depressing central nervous system activity. It is generally considered for short‑term or circadian‑related sleep issues, whereas other classes may be used for chronic insomnia but carry higher risks of dependence.

Meladura should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain stability.

Meladura is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. The tablet (or other oral form) is swallowed whole and should be taken according to the timing recommended by the prescriber, often 30‑60 minutes before the desired bedtime.

Serious but rare risks include allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, and significant mood changes like depression or anxiety. Any signs of severe reaction should prompt immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to melatonin, those taking medications that have major interactions (e.g., anticoagulants, immunosuppressants, CNS depressants) without medical supervision, and patients with uncontrolled endocrine or psychiatric disorders should avoid using Meladura unless directed by a healthcare professional.
