what's this?
Persistent sleeplessness (or insomnia) in people aged 18 years and above can be addressed by our accredited Pharmacist. After a consultation, Melatonin slow-release tablets may be recommended to mimic the pattern of endogenous Melatonin.
Tablets are taken 1-2 hours before sleep, swallowed whole and may take up to 3-weeks before the normal pattern of sleep-wake cycle is restored. It is best to avoid alcohol and other medicines for sleep while taking Melatonin. It is usually well tolerated and doesn’t seem to cause daytime drowsiness, dependence, withdrawal effects or rebound insomnia, however if drowsiness does occur, avoid driving or operating machinery.
Book an appointment here or come in store Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays or Saturdays. Treatments are only supplied under the Pharmacist's discretion. Consultations are not funded so incur a charge. In addition, any medication supplied at the consultation is an extra charge to the consultation fee.
This consultation needs to be done in person in the pharmacy.
