1. What is Melatonin LEK-AM and what is it used for

Melatonin is a hormone that occurs naturally in the human body, produced in the central nervous system by the pineal gland.
This hormone plays an important role in regulating sleep and wakefulness during the day.
Melatonin LEK-AM is a synthetic equivalent of the natural hormone.
Melatonin LEK-AM is used as a supportive treatment in:

  • sleep disorders related to sleep-wake rhythm disorders, e.g. sleep disorders related to time zone changes or shift work,
  • disorders of the daily sleep-wake rhythm in blind patients.

2. Important information before using Melatonin LEK-AM

  • during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

When to exercise special caution when using Melatonin LEK-AM:

Before starting to use Melatonin LEK-AM, consult a doctor if the patient has:
liver function disorders, depression, immune system function disorders, hormonal disorders, epilepsy, or kidney function disorders.

Using Melatonin LEK-AM with other medicines:

Fluvoxamine and drugs that undergo hepatic metabolism, such as citalopram, omeprazole, and lansoprazole, increase the blood concentration of melatonin taken at the same time.
Other medicines that may affect melatonin include: 5- or 8-methoxypsoralen (used in the treatment of psoriasis), cimetidine (used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease), estrogens (contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy), thioridazine (used in the treatment of psychiatric problems), imipramine (used in the treatment of depression), sedatives and anxiolytics, e.g. benzodiazepines.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you have taken recently, including those that are available without a prescription.

Using Melatonin LEK-AM with food and drink

Do not consume alcohol while using Melatonin LEK-AM.
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:
