As demonstrated in Circadin® SPC 1
:
- Circadin® should be taken after food, 1-2 hours before bedtime
- Swallow the tablet whole – do not crush, chew or divide it if you wish to maintain the prolonged release properties
- Alcohol should not be taken with Circadin®, because it has a bad effect on sleep maintenance
- For the best effect Circadin® should be taken at around the same time each night for the treatment period
- Before Circadin® is initiated , another sleep medication should be withdrawn under doctor’s instructions and supervision in accordance with “other sleep medication” section in the SmPC
