About Circadin

Circadin contains melatonin as the active ingredient. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone in your body, produced by the pineal gland, to help regulate sleep-wake cycles. Your levels of melatonin increase at night, and return to their normal low levels during the day, helping to control sleep patterns (circadian rhythm).

Circadin is commonly prescribed to treat short-term sleep problems in adults over the age of 55 who are suffering with poor quality of sleep. Melatonin may also help with the symptoms of jetlag for those who have travelled across varying time zones.

It is available with a prescription as generic melatonin or under the brand names Circadin, Adaflex, Ceyesto, Slenyto, and Syncrodin. NowPatient offers Circadin for the short-term treatment of primary insomnia, following an online consultation with a prescribing clinician.
