Always take circadian tablets exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
The recommended dose is one circadin tablet (2 mg) taken daily by mouth, after food, 1-2 hours before bedtime. This dosage may be continued for up to thirteen weeks.
You should swallow the tablet whole. Circadin tablets should not be crushed or cut in half.
If you have accidentally taken too much of your medicine, contact your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible. Taking more than the recommended daily dose may make you feel drowsy.
If you forget to take your circadin tablet, take another as soon as you remember, before going to sleep, or wait until it is time to take your next dose, then go on as before. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
There are no known harmful effects if treatment is interrupted or ended early. The use of circadin is not known to cause any withdrawal effects after treatment completion. If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
