Rozerem (ramelteon) is used to treat insomnia that is associated with having trouble falling asleep. Unlike some other sleep medications, Rozerem is not known to be habit-forming. It is a hypnotic type sedative. Common side effects include dizziness, tiredness, or daytime drowsiness.
The recommended dose of Rozerem is 8 mg taken within 30 minutes of going to bed. Rozerem may interact with primaquine, thabendazole, rifampin, antibiotics, heart rhythm medications, or antifungal medications. Tell your doctor all medications you are taking. Rozerem should be used only when prescribed during pregnancy. It is unknown if this drug passes into breast milk and the effect on a nursing infant is unknown.
