Pharmacist’s advice

Start with two tablets before bedtime and assess your response. Do not automatically begin with the maximum amount, particularly when you have not previously used valerian products.

Take the tablets only after finishing activities that require concentration. Valerian may cause drowsiness, so driving and operating machinery should be avoided afterwards.

Do not combine this formula with alcohol, sleeping tablets, sedatives or other calming herbal supplements without professional advice.

Maintain a consistent bedtime and waking time, reduce evening screen exposure and avoid caffeine for several hours before bedtime.

Repeated waking caused by pain, breathing difficulty, urination, hot flushes or restless legs requires management of the underlying cause rather than a higher supplement dose.

Persistent insomnia, marked daytime drowsiness, concentration problems or mood changes require medical assessment.
