Ramelteon is a prescription medication primarily used to treat insomnia, especially difficulty falling asleep. It mimics the hormone melatonin to help regulate your sleep-wake cycle without causing dependency.
This medication activates melatonin receptors in the brain, promoting natural sleep onset. Unlike some sleep aids, ramelteon is not classified as a controlled substance, reducing risks of misuse.
Licensed healthcare providers, including those accessible via Klarity telehealth services, can evaluate your sleep issues and prescribe ramelteon if appropriate. No in-person visit is necessary in many cases.
Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. Serious adverse reactions are rare but can include allergic responses. Patients should discuss their medical history with their provider.
Through Klarity, you can connect with licensed healthcare providers for a virtual consultation. After an evaluation, they can prescribe ramelteon if it’s suitable for your sleep disorder. Appointments are often available within 24-48 hours.
The cost of ramelteon varies, but online telehealth services like Klarity offer affordable options, often with no insurance required. Your provider can advise on generic options and assistance programs to reduce costs.
