The manufacturer has changed the composition and name of the preparation:
Valused Noc (former version) contains only dry valerian root extract and the extraction solvent is ethanol 60% V/V.

Valused Night Plus (currently available) contains extracts of valerian root, hop cones and passion flower. The solvents in this case are:
ethanol 60% (for valerian and passion fruit); methanol 30% (for hops).

There is clearly methanol on the leaflet. Is it a mistake?

Valused night does not contain methanol. Methanol is an alcohol that is poisonous to humans.
The solvent used for the extraction of valerian root (Valeriana officinalis L.)
is 60 % ethanol. The tablet itself contains a dry extract, i.e. without alcohol, which is evaporated in the production process. Thus, Valused Noc is a safe drug that has been tested for effectiveness.
