Monograph: Melatonin
Melatonin
Based on a systemic review of scientific literature edited and peer-reviewed by contributors to the Natural Standard Research Collaboration.
Melatonin is a hormone produced in the brain by the pineal gland from the amino acid tryptophan.The production and release of melatonin are stimulated by darkness and decreased by light, suggesting that melatonin is involved in circadian rhythm (the internal body clock) and regulation of diverse body functions. Levels of melatonin in the blood are highest prior to bedtime.
The most common use of melatonin is to aid sleep. The strongest evidence supporting the use of melatonin is for delayed sleep phase syndrome, insomnia in children and the elderly, jet lag and sleep problems in people with behavioral, developmental, or mental disorders. The weakest evidence in support of melatonin is for work shift sleep disorder. Good evidence in support of melatonin for other uses is lacking.
New drugs that block the effects of melatonin are being developed. These include BMS-214778 and luzindole, and they may have uses in various disorders.

Safety
Allergies
Avoid known allergies or sensitivity to melatonin or related products. Melatonin has been linked to allergic skin reactions and autoimmune hepatitis (liver inflammation caused by immune cells attacking the liver).
Side Effects & Warnings
Melatonin is likely safe when taken by mouth in commonly studied doses for up to three months, typically 1-20 milligrams. In children, melatonin is likely safe for long-term use in recommended doses.
Melatonin may cause abnormal heartbeat, aggression, amnesia, bedwetting (in children), body pain, changes in body temperature or feeling cold, changes in cholesterol levels, changes in the immune system, chest pain, confusion, decreased sperm count, delusions, disorientation, dizziness, eye damage or glaucoma (increased eye pressure), fatigue or irregular sleep-wake schedule, fogginess, hallucinations, headache, hormonal effects, hyperactivity, increased heart rate, increased seizure risk (particularly in children), inflammation, insomnia, irritability, mood changes, muscle control problems or weakness, musculoskeletal disorders, nightmares, nighttime awakening, poor sleep quality, psychotic symptoms, skin reactions (flushing, itching, painful lumps, paleness, and rash), sleepwalking, slow reaction time, stomach or intestinal disorders (changes in appetite, cramping, diarrhea, esophagus inflammation, nausea, odd taste in the mouth, stomach pain, and vomiting), vivid dreaming, weakness, worsened behavior and yawning.
Melatonin may affect blood pressure. Caution is advised in people taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood pressure.
Melatonin may affect blood sugar levels.Caution is advised in people with diabetes or low blood sugar and those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Blood sugar levels may need to be monitored by a qualified health care professional, including a pharmacist, and medication adjustments may be necessary.
Melatonin may affect the risk of clotting.Caution is advised in people with bleeding or clotting disorders and those taking drugs that may affect bleeding. Dosing adjustments may be necessary.
Drowsiness or sedation may occur. Use caution in people who are driving or operating heavy machinery (including aircraft) and those taking depressants, stimulants, or sedatives.
Melatonin may interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver’s cytochrome P450 enzyme system.
Beware of people who have or are at risk of changes in hormone levels, eye disorders, frequently feeling cold, genital or urinary disorders (including children with a history of bedwetting), heart disease, hyperactivity, immune disorders, inflammatory disorders, mental disorders, muscle control problems, nervous system disorders, seizures, skin disorders and stomach and intestinal problems.
Use cautiously in people taking agents that affect the immune system, anti-inflammatory agents, or hormonal agents.
Use cautiously in breastfeeding women, due to a lack of safety information.
Avoid in women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Melatonin may decrease sex drive, increase the risk of developmental disorders, and reduce ovarian function.
Avoid in people with known allergy or sensitivity to melatonin or related products.
Pregnancy & Breast Feeding
Overall, there is a lack of high quality scientific evidence on the use of melatonin during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Use cautiously in breastfeeding women, due to a lack of safety information.
Avoid in women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Melatonin may decrease sex drive, increase the risk of developmental disorders, and reduce ovarian function.

Note: This section discusses both melatonin in the body and melatonin from other sources, and the effects of other agents on melatonin and when taken with melatonin.
Many drugs may lower natural melatonin levels in the body. These include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, including ibuprofen [Motrin, Advil] or naproxen [Naprosyn, Aleve]), beta-blocker blood pressure medications (including propranolol [Inderal], atenolol [Tenormin], and metoprolol [Lopressor, Toprol]), and agents that lower levels of vitamin B6 in the body (including birth control, hormone replacement therapy, loop diuretics, hydralazine, and theophylline). Other agents that may affect melatonin levels include caffeine, diazepam, estradiol, somatostatin, temazepam, verapamil, and vitamin B12. Melatonin may affect the risk of clotting.Caution is advised in people with bleeding or clotting disorders and those taking drugs that may affect bleeding or clotting. Dosing adjustments may be necessary.

People taking drugs for diabetes by mouth or insulin should be monitored closely by a qualified health care professional, including a pharmacist.Medication adjustments may be necessary.
Melatonin may affect blood pressure.Caution is advised in people taking drugs that may affect blood pressure.
Melatonin can interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver’s cytochrome P450 enzyme system. As a result, the levels of these drugs may be altered in the blood and may cause altered effects or potentially serious adverse reactions. People using any medications should check the package insert and speak with a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, about possible interactions.
