Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Melatonin Medice acts on melatonin receptors to address sleep‑related disorders.
  • Insomnia: helps reduce sleep latency and increase total sleep time.
  • Sleep‑wake rhythm disorders: assists in synchronising the circadian rhythm and stabilising sleep patterns.
  • Delayed sleep phase syndrome: supports earlier sleep onset and improves daytime alertness.

How It Works

  • Melatonin Medice binds to melatonin MT1 and MT2 receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, mimicking the endogenous hormone. This activation modulates the circadian clock, reduces neuronal firing that promotes wakefulness, and facilitates the transition to sleep, thereby normalising the sleep‑wake cycle.

Side Effects

Melatonin Medice may cause adverse reactions in some users.

Common Side Effects

  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Daytime sleepiness
  • Vivid dreams
  • Mild gastrointestinal discomfort

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reactions such as rash or itching
  • Severe dizziness or vertigo
  • Mood changes including depression
  • Abnormal heart rhythm
  • Hallucinations or severe confusion
  • Marked hypotension

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before using Melatonin Medice, consider the following safety measures.
  • Assess sleep history: confirm the specific sleep disorder before initiation.
  • Avoid driving after initial dose: possible residual drowsiness may impair performance.
  • Use with caution in elderly: increased sensitivity to sedative effects.
  • Review concomitant CNS depressants: risk of additive sedation.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use.
  • Store at ambient temperature below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Melatonin Medice can interact with other medicines; monitoring is advised.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): may increase bleeding risk.
  • Immunosuppressants (e.g., cyclosporine): may reduce melatonin metabolism.
  • CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines): additive sedation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • CYP1A2 inhibitors (e.g., fluvoxamine): may raise melatonin plasma levels.
  • CYP1A2 inducers (e.g., carbamazepine): may lower efficacy.
  • Oral contraceptives: may elevate melatonin concentrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Melatonin Medice is used to help people who have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. It is indicated for insomnia and for disorders of the sleep‑wake rhythm, such as delayed sleep phase syndrome, by supporting the body’s natural circadian timing.

Melatonin acts as an agonist at the MT1 and MT2 receptors in the brain’s suprachiasmatic nucleus. By binding these receptors, it signals darkness to the body, helping to lower alertness, synchronize the internal clock, and promote the onset of sleep.

The appropriate dose of Melatonin Medice is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s age, condition, and response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

Safety data for melatonin use in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before starting Melatonin Medice.

To place an order, 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 necessary import documentation.

Melatonin Medice differs from traditional sedative sleep aids such as benzodiazepines or antihistamines because it works by mimicking a natural hormone rather than depressing central nervous system activity. This mechanism generally results in fewer next‑day residual effects, but individual response varies.

Store Melatonin Medice at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in its original packaging, and protect it from moisture and direct light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged.

Melatonin Medice is taken orally, typically with a glass of water. It is usually taken shortly before the intended bedtime, following the dosage instructions provided by the prescriber.

Serious but rare risks include severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), marked dizziness, mood changes such as depression, abnormal heart rhythms, hallucinations, and significant drops in blood pressure. Any of these symptoms should prompt immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to melatonin or any excipients in the product should avoid it. Patients taking certain anticoagulants, immunosuppressants, or strong CNS depressants should consult their physician, as should those with uncontrolled epilepsy, severe depression, or pregnant and nursing women unless advised otherwise.
