DORMINORM comes as tablets to be dissolved under the tongue. This means the tablet is not swallowed or washed down with water: it is placed under the tongue and kept there until it has fully dissolved. This way of taking it is convenient in the evening, when you do not want to get up for a glass of water or interrupt relaxation that has already begun.
The melatonin in the formula is linked to the body's natural signal that night has come. For the supplement to fit into this process, it is usually taken shortly before the planned bedtime — 30–60 minutes beforehand. The exact time is worth adjusting to your own routine: if you go to bed at 23:00, taking the tablet at 22:00–22:30 makes sense.
The dose in DORMINORM is 1 mg of melatonin — a relatively small amount, often chosen by those who are just getting to know melatonin or prefer a gentle approach without a high single dose.
A few practical points to bear in mind:
- Take the supplement at the same time each day — this helps maintain a stable evening rhythm.
- After taking it, it is better to dim the lights and limit screen time: bright light suppresses the body's own melatonin production and reduces the effect of the supplement.
- Do not take a tablet in the middle of the night if you wake up suddenly — this can shift your biorhythms in an undesirable direction.
DORMINORM is not used during pregnancy and breastfeeding or in case of sensitivity to its ingredients; the recommended dose — 1 tablet a day — should not be exceeded. If you have chronic conditions or take medication, it is worth consulting a specialist before use.
