Using Melatonin LEK-AM with other medicines:

Fluvoxamine and medicines that undergo liver metabolism, such as citalopram, omeprazole, and lansoprazole, increase the blood concentration of melatonin taken at the same time.

The doctor should be informed about all medicines taken recently, including those available without a prescription.

Using Melatonin LEK-AM with food and drink

During the use of Melatonin LEK-AM, alcohol should not be consumed.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Due to the lack of sufficient data, Melatonin LEK-AM should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Driving and operating machinery:

Vehicles and machinery should not be operated, as the medicine may cause drowsiness leading to decreased concentration.
