Melatonine (Melatonin)

Melatonin binds to MT1 and MT2 receptors in the brain’s master clock, signalling darkness and promoting the transition from wakefulness to sleep. This receptor activation helps synchronise the circadian rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

The appropriate dose of Melatonine is determined by a prescriber based on the individual’s age, health status, and specific sleep condition. Healthcare professionals tailor the amount to achieve the desired therapeutic effect while minimising any potential side effects.

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 using Melatonine.

Unlike prescription hypnotics that act on GABA receptors, melatonin works by mimicking the body’s natural hormone to regulate circadian timing. It is generally considered milder, with a lower risk of dependence, making it a preferred option for short‑term sleep disturbances and jet‑lag management.

Melatonine should be stored at ambient temperature, 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 potency.

Melatonine is taken orally, typically as a tablet or capsule, with water. It is usually taken shortly before bedtime, following the dosage instructions provided by a healthcare professional.

Serious but rare risks include severe allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Users should also be aware of possible hormonal disturbances and mood changes, and seek medical attention if any concerning symptoms develop.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to melatonin, those taking certain anticoagulants or immunosuppressants without medical supervision, and children or adolescents unless prescribed by a clinician should avoid using Melatonine.
