Melatonin 2mg Tablets (Modified Release)
Melatonin Mylan is used as a single therapy (monotherapy) for the short-term treatment of primary insomnia in adults aged 55 years and over, particularly when sleep quality is poor.
Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It plays an essential role in regulating the body’s day-and-night rhythm, also known as the circadian rhythm. This rhythm can become disrupted when travelling across time zones, which may lead to jet lag. Melatonin supplements help restore the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle and ease symptoms of jet lag. As night falls, melatonin levels naturally rise, signalling to the body that it is time to rest. By binding to receptors that promote relaxation, melatonin supports a smoother transition to sleep.
