Jet lag is when your normal sleeping pattern is disturbed after a long flight, particularly when crossing multiple time zones. Jet lag occurs when your internal body clock, also known as circadian rhythm, which regulates your sleep-wake cycle, goes out of sync with the time in your new location. When this is disrupted, it can cause symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty sleeping, irritability and digestive disturbance.
Jet lag Treatments from My Private Pharmacist

Circadin is a prescription medication that can be used to help manage the symptoms of jet lag and the safety and efficacy has well been established. Circadin contains the active ingredient Melatonin, a hormone that is naturally produced in the body to regulate the sleep-wake cycle or circadian rhythm. Circadin can help you fall asleep quicker, improve the quality of sleep and help you adapt to your new surroundings allowing you to leave jet lag behind.
