Found 3 generic formulation(s) containing this active ingredient.
Melatonin 5mg Tablets
Melatonin is a synthetic chronobiotic hormone identical to endogenous pineal melatonin. It acts as an agonist at high-affinity G-protein coupled MT1 and MT2 receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus. Activation of MT1 promotes sleep onset by dampening neuronal firing in the master circadian clock, while MT2 shifts circadian rhythm phase. Indicated for primary insomnia characterized by poor sleep quality in adults aged 55 and older, delayed sleep phase syndrome, and jet lag.
Melatonin + Zolpidem Tablet (3/10 Mg)
Zolpidem and Melatonin is a dual-mechanism sleep regulator combining a non-benzodiazepine positive allosteric modulator with the endogenous pineal chronobiotic hormone. Zolpidem binds selectively to the alpha-1 subunit of the GABAA receptor, rapidly inducing sleep onset within 15-30 minutes, while melatonin acts on MT1 and MT2 receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus to synchronize circadian sleep architecture and promote restful sleep maintenance. Indicated for short-term management of sleep-onset and sleep-maintenance insomnia and jet lag/circadian rhythm sleep disorders.
