Overview Andant Capsule

SomnusCaps are indicated for insomnia management. They shorten sleep latency and minimize nocturnal awakenings, promoting consolidated sleep. SomnusCaps should be ingested on an empty stomach, ideally before bedtime, consistently at the same time daily for optimal therapeutic levels. Adhere strictly to your physician's prescribed dosage and duration, as dependence is possible. Discontinuation should only occur under medical supervision to prevent symptom exacerbation. Common, generally transient, side effects include mild dizziness, incoordination, and paresthesia. Drowsiness is also possible; avoid driving or tasks demanding concentration until the drug's effects are known. Alcohol should be avoided due to potential additive dizziness. Report any unusual mood changes, new or worsening depression, hallucinations, or suicidal ideation to your doctor immediately. Always disclose all current medications to your doctor before commencing SomnusCaps treatment to ensure appropriate use. Consult your physician prior to use if you have hepatic or renal impairment. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided during treatment. This medication is contraindicated in pregnant or breastfeeding women unless specifically directed by a physician.
