VITABALANCE Melatonin 3 mg - 10 tablets

Melatonin Vitabalans is used for the short-term treatment of jet lag in adults. This product helps restore the normal biological rhythm of day and night and relieve symptoms.

Jet-sickness occurs when crossing several time zones – traveling east or west – and is accompanied by symptoms caused by the time shift, such as sleep disturbances and insomnia accompanied by impaired concentration, reduced mental and physical performance, lethargy, fatigue and sleepiness during the day.

The symptoms of jet lag, as well as their intensity or severity, can vary from person to person. Difficulties may last longer and be more intense the more time zones are crossed during the journey.

Intended for short-term treatment of shingles only. If you have other sleep problems that are not caused by jet lag, contact your doctor. Do not use Melatonin Vitabalans for any other purposes.

If you do not feel better within 6 days or if you feel heavier, you must consult a doctor. 

Ingredients:

• The active substance is melatonin. One 3 mg tablet contains melatonin 3 mg.
• Excipients are: calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, colloidal anhydrous silicon dioxide, pre-swollen (corn) starch. 

Dosage / method of use:

• Always use the product exactly in accordance with the package leaflet or according to the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist.
• The standard dose is one 3mg tablet daily after a jet lag-inducing flight. It is taken after arrival at the destination at the time of going to bed according to local time, for a maximum period of 4 days. 
• The timing of melatonin intake is important. The dose must always be taken before going to bed (according to local time). If taken at the wrong time, melatonin can cause drowsiness and delay adaptation to local time. Use this medicine only for the shortest time necessary to relieve the symptoms of shingles.

• The tablets must be swallowed with a glass of water.
• It is recommended not to eat 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking melatonin.
