Jet Lag Treatment FAQs

Important information about jet lag treatment
If you forget to take your tablet at the usual time, take it as soon as you remember before going to sleep. If it's day time, wait until it is time to take your next dose, then go on as before. Do not take 2 tablets to make up for a forgotten dose.
This jet lag treatment is not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Safety: taking other medicines
This jet lag treatment can be used alongside most other medicines, but as with all medication there may be interactions with certain types. It is therefore important that you let us know which prescription, over-the-counter medicines and recreational drugs you are taking so that we can prescribe this treatment safely.

Alternative treatments
We only offer this treatment to treat jet lag. Other ways of managing or minimising the symptoms are to plan ahead and change your sleeping patterns, taking a walk in the fresh air and daylight on arrival, and avoiding caffeine and alcohol on the flight.
