Taking HETLIOZ® (tasimelteon)
Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder is a chronic disorder that requires your internal circadian clock to be reset to 24 hours every day. That's why it's important to take HETLIOZ® every day, as directed by your healthcare provider.
Your doctor may recommend that you take one 20-mg HETLIOZ® capsule once a day, before bedtime, at the same time every night. Make sure to swallow HETLIOZ® whole and take it without food.
HETLIOZ® may cause drowsiness. After taking HETLIOZ®, limit your activity to preparing for bed. HETLIOZ® can potentially impair your ability to perform activities that require complete mental alertness.
If you can't take HETLIOZ® at approximately the same time on a given night, skip the dose that night and start again the following night. Try to stay on schedule, because if you don't take HETLIOZ® every night, your Non-24 symptoms may return.
