Introduction to Gestinova Powder Sachet
Gestinova powder sachet contains an active component of melatonin. This medication is often used as a medication to help manage sleep-related issues, such as insomnia, jet lag, and certain sleep disorders. Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing non-restorative sleep, often leading to daytime fatigue and impaired functioning. Jet lag is a temporary sleep disorder that occurs when a person's internal body clock (circadian rhythm) becomes disrupted due to rapid travel across multiple time zones, leading to symptoms like fatigue, sleep disturbances, and difficulty adjusting to the new time zone. People who work night shifts or rotating shifts may experience difficulty sleeping during the day due to a misalignment of their circadian rhythm. Gestinova powder sachet can sometimes be used to help adjust sleep patterns in these cases. Some individuals have a naturally delayed circadian rhythm, leading to difficulty falling asleep at a conventional bedtime and waking up at a desired time. It might be used to help adjust the sleep-wake cycle to a more suitable schedule.
