I was recently prescribed Ramelteon for insomnia. Does this medication work?
Ramelteon is a relatively new drug. It is a melatonin receptor agonist, and studies suggest that it promotes sleep. You take the drug 30 mins before going to bed but should not be taken with a high fatty meal. The major side effect reported has been dizziness. As far as its effectiveness is concerned, we only have the manufacturer’s data to depend on. The only way to know for sure if it works, is to try it out. It is very expensive.
