What is Melatonin?

Melatonin, the active ingredient in Melatonina Teva, is a melatonin receptor agonist presented as an oral formulation for oral use. It is employed to help regulate circadian rhythm and promote sleep onset in adults with insomnia or sleep‑wake rhythm disorders.

GNH USA supplies Melatonina Teva as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Melatonin used for?

Melatonina Teva acts on melatonin receptors to address disorders of sleep regulation. - Insomnia: reduces sleep onset latency and improves sleep maintenance in adults. - Delayed sleep phase disorder: advances sleep timing and aligns circadian rhythm. - Non‑24‑hour sleep‑wake rhythm disorder: helps synchronize the sleep‑wake cycle in affected individuals.

What are the side effects of Melatonin?

Melatonina Teva may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Headache: mild to moderate discomfort. - Dizziness: transient light‑headedness. - Nausea: occasional stomach upset. - Daytime drowsiness: residual sleepiness. - Vivid dreams: unusual dream patterns. - Abdominal discomfort: mild cramps or pain.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or anaphylaxis. - Depression: worsening mood or suicidal thoughts. - Seizures: rare convulsive episodes. - Severe hypotension: marked drop in blood pressure. - Cardiac arrhythmia: irregular heart rhythm.

What precautions apply to Melatonin?

Before using Melatonina Teva, consider the following safety measures. - Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional; safety data are limited. - Breastfeeding: use with caution; limited information on excretion in milk. - Elderly patients: start with the lowest effective dose and monitor for excessive sedation. - Concomitant CNS depressants: may increase overall sedation; adjust therapy as needed. - Anticoagulant therapy: monitor for potential changes in bleeding risk. - Store at ambient temperature below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

What does Melatonin interact with?

Melatonina Teva can interact with several medication classes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants: may enhance bleeding tendency. - Immunosuppressants: could reduce immunosuppressive efficacy. - CYP1A2 inhibitors (e.g., fluvoxamine): increase melatonin plasma levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines): additive sedative effect. - Antihypertensives: possible augmentation of blood‑pressure lowering. - Oral contraceptives: may alter hormone metabolism and efficacy.

Frequently asked questions

What is Melatonina Teva used for?+
Melatonina Teva contains melatonin, a hormone that helps regulate the sleep‑wake cycle. It is prescribed for adults with insomnia, delayed sleep phase disorder, and other sleep‑wake rhythm disturbances to facilitate sleep onset and improve overall sleep quality.
How does melatonin work in the body?+
Melatonin binds to MT1 and MT2 receptors in the brain’s suprachiasmatic nucleus, signalling that it is night time. This interaction reduces neuronal activity that promotes wakefulness, aligns the internal clock with external darkness, and encourages the transition to sleep.
What is the usual dose of Melatonina Teva?+
The appropriate dose of Melatonina Teva is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, condition severity, and response to therapy. Dosage may vary, and patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their healthcare professional.
Is Melatonina Teva safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for melatonin use in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their physician before starting Melatonina Teva.
How do I order Melatonina Teva from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does Melatonina Teva compare with other sleep aids?+
Melatonina Teva differs from traditional hypnotics such as zolpidem or benzodiazepines because it works by mimicking a natural hormone rather than depressing the central nervous system. This mechanism often results in fewer next‑day residual effects, but efficacy may be lower for severe insomnia, where prescription hypnotics might be preferred.
How should Melatonina Teva be stored and handled?+
Store Melatonina Teva at ambient temperature below 25 °C, in its original packaging, and protect it from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing it in bathrooms or other humid environments.
How is Melatonina Teva administered?+
Melatonina Teva is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. It is commonly administered 30–60 minutes before the desired bedtime, but patients should follow the timing recommended by their prescriber.
What are the most serious risks associated with Melatonina Teva?+
Serious adverse reactions, though rare, include severe allergic responses (rash, swelling, anaphylaxis), significant mood changes such as depression or suicidal thoughts, seizures, marked hypotension, and cardiac arrhythmias. Any of these symptoms require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Melatonina Teva?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to melatonin or any excipients in the formulation should avoid the product. Patients taking certain anticoagulants, immunosuppressants, or strong CYP1A2 inhibitors should consult their physician, as should those with uncontrolled hypertension, severe depression, or a history of seizures.
