Rozerem is in a class of drugs called sleep medications. Rozerem affects chemicals in your brain that may affect sleep. Rozerem induces sleep and causes relaxation. It is prescribed for the treatment of insomnia.
Rozerem should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to ramelteon or any components of the formulation. Rozerem can be prescribed for long-term use. However, failure of insomnia to remit after a reasonable period of time, worsening of insomnia, or the emergence of new cognitive or behavioral abnormalities after taking Rozerem should be evaluated, as such symptoms may be the result of an unrecognized underlying medical disorder. In primarily depressed patients, worsening of depression, including suicidal ideation, has been reported in association with the use of hypnotics.
