How does the Melatonin 4mg soluble oral patch work?

Melatonin is a dietary supplement commonly used to address various sleep-related issues, including insomnia and jet lag.

As a supplement, melatonin helps reset the body's internal clock, enhancing sleep quality and improving mood. For individuals struggling with insomnia, melatonin helps to expedite sleep onset and improve sleep quality. It is also effective in alleviating jet lag, aiding in faster adjustment to different time zones. Melatonin 4mg soluble oral patches are generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects, the most common being headache, dizziness, and nausea.

How do you use the Melatonin 4mg soluble oral patch?

Always take as directed by your healthcare provider. Check with your healthcare provider if you are not sure. Melatonin 4mg soluble oral patches should be taken half an hour before bedtime. The transmucosal buccal film delivers the drug through the buccal mucosa and straight into the bloodstream. When we talk about buccal mucosa we are referring to the inside of the mouth. But unlike regular tablets and capsules, which you swallow, you attach the film to the inside of the mouth. As soon as it makes contact with the inside of the cheek, it sticks to it immediately and begins to dissolve. The following list of the steps involved in applying a film: 1. Before removing the film, wash your hands thoroughly and dry them to ensure that the film doesn’t stick to your fingers. 2. Then carefully peel off the film and, with your fingertip, position it on the inside of the cheek. 3. You will feel that the film immediately sticks to the side of the mouth and starts to dissolve. 4. Try not to swallow any saliva while the film is dissolving. The whole purpose of buccal administration is to allow it to dissolve across the inner lining of the mouth into the bloodstream. 5. Only eat or drink something for up to an hour before and after applying the film. 6. The film should dissolve in less than two minutes and may leave a slight aftertaste, depending on your prescribed transmucosal film. 7. Remember to seal the plastic blister tray to prevent the film from being exposed to air, and either return it to the silver foil envelope or store it in a dark cupboard at room temperature.
