How to Use Circadin

Circadin^® should be taken after food, 1-2 hours before bedtime¹

Swallow the tablet whole – do not crush, chew or divide it if you wish to maintain the prolonged release properties

Circadin^® does not have a “hammer” effect – you should just feel a natural sleepiness and desire to go to bed between 1-2 hours after taking it

Alcohol should not be taken with Circadin^®, because it has a bad effect on sleep maintenance

For the best effect on quality of sleep you should take Circadin^® at around the same time each night for the full 13 week treatment period and then see your doctor for review

If you have been using any other type of sleep medication before being prescribed Circadin^® ask your doctor for advice on how to stop taking it in a gradual manner and switch over to Circadin^®
