No-Jet-Lag: technical specifications
No-Jet-Lag is available in a 32-tablet strip packet. Each 340mg tablet
contains a formulation of five homeopathic remedies to
counter the effects of jet-lag, and each packet contains sufficient
tablets for an average round-the-world itinerary (over 50 hours of flying).
No-Jet-Lag is manufactured according to the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the
United States (HPUS) and is listed with the FDA for over-the-counter sale in the
United States. Its National Drug Code is 059672-0130-4 and barcode
750980001329.
No-Jet-Lag is packaged in premises inspected by a regulatory authority
to ensure the premises meet the standard grade of hygiene, class one.
Indications
Jet-lag is a complex condition which occurs when flying long distances.
There are several causes but the main one is crossing time zones, which causes
circadian dysrhythmia. Other factors are dehydration, lack of fresh air,
lack of exercise, loss of quality sleep, and problems arising from
cabin pressure (equivalent to 8,000 feet).
Dosage
One tablet of No-Jet-Lag should be taken at the time
of each take-off, another every two hours in flight, and another after each
landing (including at intermediate stops). During long flights, the
two-hour intervals may be extended if the user is sleeping.
Warnings and precautions
No-Jet-Lag can be used by travellers of all ages.
If a user suffers from a major medical problem, normal caution should be exercised
in flying on long journeys. No-Jet-Lag
does not counter the effects of existing medical disorders or of alcohol
or general exhaustion.
Interactions
No-Jet-Lag may be taken with any other medication.
Like other homeopathic remedies, No-Jet-Lag is most
effective when taken separately from food
and drink, but has been specially formulated so that it may if necessary
be taken in association with food and/or drink, e.g. coffee.
Flying while pregnant
Preferably, flying while pregnant should be avoided. Changes in the
body during pregnancy can cause discomfort of various kinds on long flights,
and No-Jet-Lag does not counter these. Because of the very
small concentration of ingredients in No-Jet-Lag it is
safe to use while pregnant.
Dosage for children
Children under three years usually do not suffer much from jet-lag, but it is
recommended that they also take No-Jet-Lag on long flights.
They often display irritability which is one of the leading symptoms of jet-lag. They
also need plenty of fluid frequently to reduce dehydration. For children
aged 4-12 years the recommended dose is one tablet every four hours (compared
with the adult dose of one tablet every two hours).
Adverse effects
Owing to the minute doses involved, there is little possibility of adverse
effects. There has never been any recorded adverse effect from homeopathic
remedies above 12C. All remedies used in No-Jet-Lag
are 30C, well above the 12C limit.
Overdosage
Should a user take more No-Jet-Lag than recommended,
no harmful side effects should be expected, owing to the minute dilutions of
active ingredients employed in homeopathic preparations.
X-rays, coffee, mint and homeopathic products
Some homeopathic products are harmed by exposure to x-rays, coffee or aromatic
products such as mint. No-Jet-Lag is not affected
in this way. It has been robustly manufactured to ensure it remains
effective after exposure to such factors, and a trial involving long-haul
passengers has proved it to be resistant to such treatment.
