Melatonin Glenmark (Melatonin)

Melatonin mimics the natural hormone produced by the pineal gland. It binds to MT1 and MT2 receptors in the brain’s suprachiasmatic nucleus, signaling that it is night time. This interaction helps lower core body temperature, promotes sleep onset, and synchronises the internal circadian clock with the external light‑dark cycle.

The appropriate dose of Melatonin Glenmark is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the individual’s age, condition, and response to therapy. Healthcare professionals set the strength and timing to achieve the desired sleep‑promoting effect while minimizing potential side effects.

Safety data for melatonin use in pregnancy and lactation are limited, and the product’s pregnancy category is not established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using Melatonin Glenmark.

Melatonin Glenmark differs from prescription hypnotics such as zolpidem or benzodiazepines because it works by restoring the natural circadian signal rather than directly depressing the central nervous system. This mechanism generally results in fewer next‑day residual effects, but its efficacy may be modest for severe insomnia, where stronger hypnotics might be preferred.

Melatonin Glenmark should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the product away from moisture, heat and direct sunlight to maintain stability. Do not store in bathrooms or near kitchen appliances that generate excess humidity.

The product is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. For optimal effect, it is commonly recommended to take the dose 30‑60 minutes before the intended bedtime, following the prescriber’s instructions regarding timing and whether it should be taken with or without food.

Serious but rare risks include severe allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, significant mood changes like depression or suicidal thoughts, and worsening of obstructive sleep‑apnea. Patients experiencing any of these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.

Melatonin Glenmark is not recommended for individuals with known hypersensitivity to melatonin or any excipients in the formulation. It should be avoided by patients with uncontrolled severe depression, active sleep‑apnea, or those taking medications that may cause dangerous additive sedation unless closely supervised by a healthcare professional.
