Meloset, which contains the active ingredient Melatonin, is a synthetic variant of a hormone produced in the brain. It functions by modifying and regulating the body's internal clock and sleep-wake patterns. This medication is primarily utilized to alleviate jet lag, delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS), and insomnia related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), high blood pressure medications, and developmental disorders in children. Additionally, some individuals may use it for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, menopause, birth control, and others.
Meloset is typically administered orally once daily, 1 to 2 hours before sleep, or as directed by a physician. It should be taken with a snack or shortly after eating, accompanied by a glass of water. Consult a doctor for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment, as these will vary based on the patient’s condition and their response to the medication. The tablets should be taken whole and should not be crushed, broken, or chewed, as they are designed to release the medication gradually for a more stable effect.
Patients using Meloset may experience side effects, including headaches, daytime drowsiness, dizziness, stomach upset, fatigue, throat inflammation, irritability, restlessness or anxiety, and changes in mental or mood state.
Reach out to a doctor promptly if side effects persist or worsen.
In case of an allergic reaction, seek immediate help at the nearest emergency department. Symptoms commonly associated with such reactions include difficulty in breathing or swallowing, chest tightness, swelling, rashes, and hives.
