Important Safety Information
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unexpected symptoms. For serious or life-threatening side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections: Severe anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Abnormal thinking, behavior changes, and complex behaviors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] CNS effects [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Most common adverse reactions (≥3% and more common than with placebo) are: somnolence, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and exacerbated insomnia.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Adverse Reactions Resulting in Discontinuation of Treatment The data described in this section reflect exposure to Ramelteon Tablets in 5373 subjects, including 722 exposed for six months or longer, and 448 subjects for one year.
Six percent of the 5373 individual subjects exposed to Ramelteon Tablets in clinical studies discontinued treatment owing to an adverse event, compared with 2% of the 2279 subjects receiving placebo.
The most frequent adverse events leading to discontinuation in subjects receiving Ramelteon Tablets were somnolence, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, headache, and insomnia;
all of which occurred in 1% of the patients or less.
Ramelteon Tablets Most Commonly Observed Adverse Events Table 1 displays the incidence of adverse events reported by the 2861 patients with chronic insomnia who participated in placebo-controlled trials of Ramelteon Tablets.
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in clinical trials of other drugs, and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The adverse reaction information from clinical trials does, however, provide a basis for identifying the adverse events that appear to be related to drug use and for approximating rates.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Severe anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions: Angioedema and anaphylaxis have been reported.
Do not rechallenge if such reactions occur.
( 5.1 ) Need to evaluate for comorbid diagnoses: Reevaluate if insomnia persists after 7 to 10 days of treatment.
( 5.2 ) Abnormal thinking, behavioral changes, complex behaviors: May include “sleep-driving” and hallucinations.
Immediately evaluate any new onset behavioral changes.
Like all medications, Ramelteon can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
