Sleep Support & Insomnia Treatment Service
Struggling with sleep? Our pharmacy can now provide treatment for adults aged 18 years and over experiencing short-term sleep disturbances or longer-term insomnia.
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep throughout the night, or waking earlier than desired can significantly affect your wellbeing, energy levels, and quality of life. Effective treatment options are available, depending on how long your symptoms have been present.
Short-Term Sleep Disturbance
Sleep problems lasting less than 3 months are generally considered short-term sleep disturbances.
Treatment: Melatonin 3mg Modified Release
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that signals to your body when it is time to sleep. Supplementing melatonin can help support the normal sleep-wake cycle and improve sleep quality.
Price: £25 per course
Long-Term Insomnia
Sleep difficulties that have persisted for more than 3 months are generally classed as long-term insomnia.
Treatment: Quviviq® (daridorexant)
Quviviq works by blocking the action of orexin, a chemical messenger in the brain responsible for promoting wakefulness. By reducing overactive wake signals, it helps you fall asleep more easily and stay asleep throughout the night.
Price: £85 per month
