We emphasize a preventive approach to ensure safety during travel, beyond mere Treatment of illness. This includes pre-travel health management, vaccinations, and support for preparing for health issues abroad. We assist you in enjoying your travels with peace of mind.

Various Vaccinations

Vaccinations are highly effective for preventing infection and severe illness, especially for individuals at high risk of serious infectious diseases or those traveling to high-risk areas.
Our clinic stocks various products and can provide recommendations tailored to your destination and individual needs. Please feel free to consult us for maintaining your health and ensuring a safe journey. *Our clinic operates on an appointment-only basis. Depending on the vaccine type, some may require time for ordering or preparation. If you have a travel schedule, please contact us as early as possible.

Vaccines for Infectious Diseases to Prevent in Japan

These vaccinations protect against diseases with high infection risks. Even if you received vaccinations as a child, you may still be eligible if your antibody levels (immune strength) have declined, you're an elderly individual prone to severe illness, or someone with a condition that lowers immunity.

Jet Lag

Prescribe medication (Rozerem) to those traveling long distances to help adjust to jet lag.
Rozerem is a medication that helps regulate your body's internal clock rhythm. Long-distance flights can easily cause "jet lag," where your sense of day and night becomes misaligned. Rozerem works similarly to the hormone "melatonin," which helps regulate your body's rhythm. Promoting natural sleepiness at night supports smoother adaptation to the time in your new location.

Effects

  • Promotes natural sleepiness at night in the local time zone
  • Makes it easier to wake up refreshed in the morning
  • Alleviates the discomfort of jet lag by regulating sleep rhythms

Features

  • Unlike typical sleeping pills, it works by promoting natural sleepiness
  • Has minimal habit-forming or addictive potential, allowing for safe use
  • Less likely to cause drowsiness or lethargy

Differences from Other Sleeping Pills

Previously used sleeping pills often had a strong, forced effect to induce sleep, sometimes causing grogginess or unsteadiness the next morning. Rozerem supports the body's natural sense that "it's time to sleep," making it significantly less likely to cause these side effects.

Precautions

  • Ideally, take it at the same time every day, right before bed.
  • Taking it immediately after a meal (especially a high-fat meal) may reduce its effectiveness.
  • As drowsiness or dizziness may occur, avoid activities like driving after taking it
  • If you are taking other medications or have a pre-existing condition, consult your doctor before use
  • It may take several days to a week to feel the effects

Long-Flight Thrombosis

Long-flight thrombosis, when sitting in the same position for extended periods, such as on an airplane, increases the risk of blood clots (thrombi) forming in the leg veins. If a clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs, it can cause shortness of breath, chest pain, and in some cases, be life-threatening. The risk increases significantly for flights over 6 hours, making prevention crucial.
Our clinic provides preventive support for individuals planning extended flights or those at higher risk of developing blood clots.
