What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Melatonin Overview
Melatonin has been used for short-term treatment of trouble sleeping (insomnia) due to sleep cycle disorders and time changes ("jet lag"). Melatonin may help you fall asleep faster and decrease the number of times you awaken during the night. It may also help you sleep for a longer time. Melatonin is a substance that your body normally makes. It is thought to help your body's regular daily cycle, hormone production, and sleep patterns. Some herbal/diet supplement products have been found to contain possibly harmful impurities/additives. Check with your pharmacist for more details regarding the particular brand you use. The FDA has not reviewed Melatonin for safety or effectiveness. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
How to Use Melatonin
Melatonin is taken by mouth with or without food, usually before bedtime or as directed by the package label. Follow all directions on the product package. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Do not take a dose of Melatonin unless you have time for at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep after taking Melatonin. Dosage of Melatonin is based on your age, medical condition, and response to treatment. If you are taking the extended-release tablets, do not crush or chew them. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Swallow the tablets whole. If you are using the chewable form, chew thoroughly before swallowing. If you are using a liquid form, carefully measure your dose using a medication-measuring device or spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Some brands of Melatonin should be shaken well before each use. If you are using the rapidly dissolving tablets, dry your hands before handling the tablet. Some brands are meant to be placed on the tongue, while others are placed under the tongue. Follow your brand's directions for placing your dose either on or under the tongue. Allow it to dissolve completely, then swallow it with saliva. You do not need to take Melatonin with water. Melatonin may start to work within 30 minutes. If your condition lasts or gets worse, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right away.
