Description
Vigisom Prolonged Release Tablets 2mg contain melatonin and are classified as a Pharmacy Medicine designed for the short-term management of insomnia marked by poor sleep quality. These tablets are particularly recommended for individuals aged over 55 years with chronic sleep problems.
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain, triggered by darkness. It plays a key role in controlling the body's sleep patterns and sleep-wake cycle. Its secretion follows a daily rhythm, rising in the evening and falling by morning, which helps synchronize sleep-wake cycles with the natural light-dark cycle. Melatonin production tends to decline with age.
This natural rhythm tends to be unbalanced with travel also.
These tablets release melatonin slowly over the night to mimic what the body would naturally do.
They are non addictive.
