摘要
Ramelteon (Rozerem; Takeda), a melatonin receptor agonist, was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of insomnia in July 2005. In contrast to other widely used drugs for this condition, it has shown no evidence of dependence or abuse potential, and has not been designated as a controlled substance.
