Long-haul flights can be tough on the body, especially when crossing multiple time zones. Jet lag – that groggy, disoriented feeling – is a common issue for travellers. At our pharmacy, we offer jet lag tablets to help your body adjust quickly, so you can enjoy your trip from day one.
What Are Jet Lag Tablets?
Jet lag tablets are designed to support your body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm) during long flights. They often contain ingredients like melatonin, a natural hormone that helps regulate sleep, promotes relaxation and restfulness.
These tablets help:
- Reduce fatigue and disorientation
- Support natural sleep patterns
- Make time zone transitions easier
When and How to Use Them
Jet lag tablets are typically taken:
- Before your flight – to prepare your body for the time change
- During your flight – to encourage rest while flying
- After arrival – to help sync with the local time
The timing of your dosage can also depend on the direction you’re travelling:
- If you’re travelling east (e.g. UK to Asia), it’s best to take the tablet in the evening at your destination to help you fall asleep earlier.
- If you’re travelling west (e.g. UK to the US), you may want to take it in the early morning or avoid it altogether unless you’re adjusting for early waking, as your body will naturally want to stay up later.
Always follow the instructions on the packaging, and feel free to ask our pharmacists for personalized advice based on your destination and flight schedule.
