Clinical Pharmacology
Melaxen is an adaptogenic drug, a chemical analogue of the biogenic amine melatonin.
Synthesized from plant-derived amino acids. The chemical formula is N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, molecular weight 232. It is dissolved in water, alcohol, lipids.
It is a synthetic analogue of the hormone pineal gland. Normalizes circadian rhythms. Regulates the sleep-wake cycle, daily changes in motor activity and body temperature. It contributes to the normalization of night sleep: speeds up sleep, improves the quality of sleep, reduces the number of nightly awakenings, improves health after a morning awakening, does not cause a feeling of lethargy, weakness and fatigue upon waking, dreams become more vivid and emotionally saturated.
Adapts the body to the rapid change of time zones, reduces stress reactions. Shows immunostimulating and pronounced antioxidant properties.
It inhibits the secretion of gonadotropins and to a lesser extent - other hormones of the adenohypophysis (corticotropin, thyrotropin and somatotropin). Not addictive and addictive.
Indications
- As a hypnotic.
- As an adaptogen for the normalization of biological rhythms.

For oral use, 30–40 minutes before bedtime. Adults take 0.5–1 tablet once a day. As an adaptogen when changing time zones - 1 day before the flight and for the next 2–5 days - 1 tablet per day. The maximum daily dose is up to 2 pills per day.
Adverse reactions
When used in physiological doses, adverse reactions are rare. Along with melatonin intake, allergic reactions, edema (in the first week of administration), headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and morning drowsiness are described.

Drug interactions
With simultaneous use of melatonin enhances the effect of drugs that have a depressant effect on the central nervous system, and beta-blockers.
Not recommended in conjunction with hormonal drugs.
Not compatible with inhibitors of MAO, corticosteroids and cyclosporine.
Pregnancy and Lactation
The drug is contraindicated for use during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding).
Special instructions
It is necessary to inform women who want to become pregnant about the presence of a weakly expressed contraceptive action.
During the period of use of the drug should avoid exposure to bright light.
Contraindicated in severe renal impairment and chronic renal failure.
During the period of treatment, it is necessary to refrain from driving vehicles and other occupations of potentially hazardous activities that require high concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.
Overdosage
Symptoms: increased severity of side effects.
Treatment: gastric lavage, symptomatic therapy.
