Rozerem works by stimulating
melatonin receptors. Melatonin receptors are involved in the circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle, and stimulating these receptors helps people to fall asleep faster. Unlike many other sleep medications, Rozerem is not habit-forming and is not a controlled substance.
Rozerem has not been tested in people under the age of 18. Therefore, Rozerem use in children is not recommended. Rozerem can affect certain hormone levels, which could affect the development of your child. Talk to your child's healthcare provider about other ways to deal with childhood
insomnia.
On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend Rozerem for treating something other than the conditions listed above. This is called an "
off-label" use. At this time, there are no universally recognized off-label uses for Rozerem.
