Hello Mam! The picture that you have shared is of Zinc and Magnesium, both are the essential nutrients,however, there is no guarantee that your relative would be able to sleep with these tablets. Moreover,the cause for insomnia is evaluated and then the right medication is prescribed to the patient based on patient profile .

Both zinc and melatonin are commonly used as dietary supplements to aid with sleep, but it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication or supplement regimen. Zinc is an essential mineral that plays various roles in the body, including supporting immune function and promoting overall health. While zinc deficiency may contribute to sleep disturbances, taking excessive amounts of zinc can lead to adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and copper deficiency. It's generally recommended to stay within the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for zinc, which is around 11 mg for adult males and 8 mg for adult females. Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally by the body to regulate the sleep-wake cycle. Supplementing with melatonin can help promote sleep, particularly for individuals with insomnia or jet lag. Melatonin is generally considered safe for short-term use, but it may cause side effects such as drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and stomach discomfort. It's important to use melatonin as directed and start with the lowest effective dose. While zinc and melatonin are generally considered safe, individual responses to medications and supplements can vary. It's always a good idea to consult with a psychiatrist or physician.
