Overview
A.Vogel Dormeasan Valerian-Hops Oral Drops in the 15ml format are the compact, travel-friendly option in one of A.Vogel's most recognised and long-standing sleep products. Dormeasan is a Traditional Herbal Registration (THR) product — meaning it is formally licensed with the MHRA as a herbal medicinal product for the relief of sleep disturbances and difficulty sleeping — and is built on the time-honoured pairing of Valerian root and Hops strobile, one of the most studied and historically significant herbal combinations for sleep in European botanical medicine. The 15ml bottle slips easily into a wash bag or hand luggage, making it ideal for those who manage sleep disruption associated with travel, jet lag, or changes in environment and routine.
The formula combines Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) root tincture — the herb with perhaps the longest European tradition of all for sleep support, referenced in herbal use since at least the 16th century — with Hops strobile (Humulus lupulus) tincture, which has a complementary traditional role in promoting rest and reducing the restlessness that often accompanies difficulty settling to sleep. The combination of Valerian and Hops is one of the most classic pairings in European herbal sleep medicine, each herb reinforcing and complementing the other's properties. Both ingredients are delivered in an ethanol (alcohol) base as a tincture, which allows precise drop-count dosing before bed. [Please confirm dose count, exact alcohol content, and current THR registration from the product label before publishing. Note: contains Hops — see allergen advisory.]
Suitable for adults experiencing sleep difficulty, Dormeasan 15ml sits within the A.Vogel Stress, Sleep & Mood range at Pearl Chemist Group. For regular home use, the Dormeasan 50ml provides a far more economical supply at the same formula. Both sizes are available at Pearl Chemist Group.
How to Take A.Vogel Dormeasan Valerian-Hops Oral Drops – 15ml
Recommended dose: Adults: take as directed on the current product label — [CONFIRM exact drop count from label; typically 30 drops in a little water]. Take approximately 30 minutes to one hour before bedtime.
Timing: Take shortly before bed as part of a consistent pre-sleep routine. For the most effective use, take at a consistent time each night. A small second dose may be taken if waking during the night — [CONFIRM from label whether this is recommended].
Duration: As a THR product for sleep disturbance, consistent use over two to four weeks provides the most meaningful benefit. Do not take continuously for longer than the period stated on the label without reviewing. If sleep difficulty persists, consult your GP.
Important: May cause drowsiness — do not drive or operate machinery if affected. Avoid alcohol. Contains Hops. Contains alcohol (ethanol). Do not take alongside prescribed sleep medication without GP advice.

FAQs
Why does Dormeasan combine Valerian with Hops?
Valerian and Hops are one of the most classic and long-established herb pairings in European herbal sleep medicine. Valerian has been used since at least the 16th century for sleep difficulty and nervous tension. Hops brings a complementary traditional action — particularly for the restlessness and inability to settle that frequently accompanies difficulty falling asleep. Together they address both the psychological and physical components of sleep preparation in a way that each herb alone may not fully cover.
What does THR registration mean for Dormeasan?
A Traditional Herbal Registration (THR) means the product is formally licensed as a herbal medicinal product by the MHRA — the UK medicines regulator. This requires the product to meet defined quality, safety, and manufacturing standards, and its indication (the relief of sleep disturbance) is based on documented traditional use rather than clinical trial data. A THR product has a higher regulatory standing than an unlicensed food supplement.
Why is the 15ml size particularly useful?
The 15ml bottle is compact enough for hand luggage and a wash bag, making it an ideal format for managing sleep disruption associated with travel, jet lag, or overnight stays away from home. At the standard dose, it provides approximately seven to ten nights of use — a natural fit for a short trip or as a trial supply before committing to the larger 50ml bottle.
Can I take Dormeasan alongside prescribed sleeping tablets?
No. Do not take Dormeasan alongside prescribed sleep medication (hypnotics), anxiolytics, or sedative medication without first consulting your GP. Both Valerian and Hops have sedative properties that may significantly compound the effect of prescription sedatives, potentially creating an unsafe level of combined sedation.
Does Dormeasan contain Hops?
Yes. A.Vogel Dormeasan contains Hops strobile (Humulus lupulus) tincture as one of its two active herbal ingredients. Some individuals have sensitivity to Hops — if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to Hops or related plants, do not use this product without consulting your pharmacist or GP first.
Is this product suitable during pregnancy?
No. Dormeasan is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Both Valerian and Hops have not been fully evaluated for safety during pregnancy. Additionally, the product contains alcohol. Consult your GP or midwife for appropriate sleep support during pregnancy.
Will I feel drowsy the next morning?
At the recommended dose taken before bed, most adults do not experience significant next-morning drowsiness, though individual responses vary. If you notice residual drowsiness the morning after taking Dormeasan, do not drive or operate machinery until you are certain it has passed. Avoid alcohol when using this product, as it will increase sedative effects significantly.
How long does the 15ml bottle last?
At the standard pre-bedtime dose, the 15ml bottle provides approximately seven to ten nights of use — making it ideal for a travel supply or a short trial period. For home use over a sustained period, the 50ml Dormeasan format provides significantly better value and a supply of approximately 25–35 nights.
