Jet lag is common after long-distance travel across several time zones. It can affect sleep, energy levels, concentration, digestion and mood.

At MediCare Pharmacy Group, our pharmacist can assess whether treatment for jet lag is suitable for you and provide advice to help reduce symptoms and improve sleep while travelling.

What treatment is available?

We offer up to a 5 day supply of melatonin tablets for the treatment of jet lag where appropriate, alongside practical advice on:

  • Sleep timing.
  • Adjusting to a new time zone.
  • Managing tiredness during travel.

Not all treatment options are suitable for everyone, so a consultation is required before supply.

How much does jet lag treatment cost?

Melatonin tablets are available at £4.00 per tablet.

To obtain treatment for jet lag, you will need a consultation with one of our pharmacists. This can be provided as:

  • Travel Health Consultation – £40
  • Jet Lag Consultation – £10

Please note that the cost of treatment is not included in the consultation fee and will be charged separately if appropriate.
