Melatonin XL 2 mg – Prolonged-Release Tablets
Category:Sleep Help (Insomnia)Melatonin XL 2 mg is a prolonged-release melatonin tablet intended to support the body’s natural sleep rhythm rather than act as a traditional sleeping tablet.
Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the body and plays a key role in regulating circadian rhythm. Prolonged-release formulations are designed to release melatonin gradually overnight, which may help improve sleep maintenance and reduce night-time awakenings.
Prolonged-release melatonin is commonly used in clinical practice for the short-term management of insomnia, particularly in adults with disrupted sleep patterns.
Each pack contains 30 prolonged-release tablets.
