Description

Adaflex (Melatonin) is a brand name for a medication containing melatonin, which is a hormone naturally produced by the body to regulate sleep-wake cycles. Melatonin supplements like Adaflex are commonly used to help treat sleep disorders, such as insomnia, and to alleviate jet lag symptoms.

How it works

Melatonin works by interacting with receptors in the brain to regulate sleep patterns. When it gets dark, the pineal gland releases melatonin into the bloodstream, signaling the body that it's time to sleep. This hormone helps to synchronize the body's internal clock with the natural day-night cycle.

Warnings

  • Melatonin can cause drowsiness, so it's important to avoid activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating heavy machinery, after taking it.
  • Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to melatonin, such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. If any of these symptoms occur, medical attention should be sought immediately.
  • Melatonin may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, immunosuppressants, and medications for diabetes or depression. It's important to consult with your doctor before taking melatonin if you are on any medications.

Directions

Typically, melatonin is taken orally as a tablet or capsule. The recommended dosage and timing may differ based on individual factors and the specific product instructions. The recommended starting dose of Adaflex (melatonin) tablet is 1-2 mg 30-60 minutes before bedtime. The dose of Adaflex can be increased by 1 mg every week until effect up to a maximum 5 mg per day, independent of age. However, it's important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer or consult with a healthcare professional for accurate dosage and usage guidelines.
