Circadin 2mg is used to improve sleep quality and morning alertness in patients over 55 years of age with poor quality of sleep.

The active substance of Circadin 2mg, melatonin (not of plant or animal origin), belongs to a group of naturally occurring hormones produced in the body. Melatonin works by controlling the circadian rhythms and increasing the propensity to sleep. Your doctor, however, may prescribe Circadin 2mg for another purpose. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about why it has been prescribed for you. Circadin is not addictive.
