Vigisom is used to improve sleep onset, quality of sleep and morning alertness in patients 55 years of age or over. The active substance of Vigisom, melatonin, belongs to a group of naturally occurring hormones produced in the body. Melatonin works by regulating the circadian rhythms and increasing the propensity to sleep.
The advanced prolonged release technology of Vigisom allows for melatonin to be released gradually over 8-10 hours, mimicking your body’s natural melatonin action. Vigisom can help you fall asleep more easily and sleep more soundly, allowing you to wake feeling refreshed and ready to face the day.
Vigisom is not addictive and does not impair your daytime activity.
