Travelling to distant destinations brings you to new cultures and special experiences, but the transition between different time zones can significantly disrupt your natural biological clock. Upon arrival, you may feel tired, listless, or restless at times when you want to enjoy your trip or need to perform sharply. This temporary disruption of your natural sleep-wake rhythm, better known as jet lag, requires targeted and responsible support. Valdispert Melatonin 3 mg offers you a reliable solution to help your body adapt more quickly to the local time at your destination, so that you maintain your vitality and can quickly resume your daily routine.
Key benefits
- Effective support for jet lag: Helps to alleviate the symptoms of jet lag after a flight across multiple time zones, so you get used to the local rhythm faster.
- Aligns with the body's own process: Contains melatonin, a substance that belongs to the natural group of hormones that your body produces itself to regulate the sleep-wake rhythm.
- Precisely dosed: The 3 mg tablets offer a controlled dosage that can be adjusted as needed and in consultation with an expert up to a maximum of 5 mg per day.
- Practical for travel: The compact pack of 30 tablets is easy to carry in your hand luggage, ready for use at your destination.
How it works
Valdispert Melatonin 3 mg is a registered over-the-counter medicine (UAD) specifically developed for adults travelling between different time zones. Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally secreted by the pineal gland in the brain when it gets dark. By crossing multiple time zones, this natural production becomes disrupted. By taking a precisely dosed amount of melatonin at the right local time, you support the recovery of the natural sleep-wake rhythm. This helps your body adapt more quickly to the local time, which contributes to a more comfortable transition and the maintenance of your personal vitality during your stay.

Use & Dosage
Always take this medicine exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Are you in doubt about the correct use? Please contact your doctor or pharmacist.
The recommended dosage is one 3 mg tablet daily for a maximum of 4 days. The first dose should be taken upon arrival at the destination at your usual bedtime (local time). The dose on subsequent days should also be taken at your usual bedtime. If the standard dose of 3 mg does not sufficiently reduce symptoms, one 5 mg tablet may be taken at local bedtime instead of the 3 mg tablet. The 5 mg tablet should not be taken in addition to the 3 mg tablet, but a higher dose may be taken on subsequent days. The maximum daily dose is 5 mg once daily. The dose that sufficiently relieves symptoms should be taken for the shortest possible time.
It is important that melatonin is taken at the right time. If the tablet is taken at the wrong time, melatonin can cause drowsiness and delay adjustment to local time. Therefore, the tablets should not be taken before 20:00 and after 04:00. The tablets should be swallowed with a glass of water. It is advised not to eat 2 hours before and in the 2 hours after the planned time of taking melatonin.
