Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that controls your body's sleep pattern and sleep–wake cycle. Melatonin may provide some benefit for older adults with insomnia when dosed at the correct time, and it is generally well tolerated. However, melatonin is not a first-line treatment and use should not be prioritised over other forms of evidence based care.

We are able to supply melatonin for patients who meet all of the below criteria:

• Over 18 years of age
• Mild to moderate primary insomnia with no underlying medical causes

Mild to moderate primary insomnia is difficulty getting to or falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep (poor quality sleep), waking up too early, tiredness and fatigue in the day. Is not caused by any underlying medical condition, psychiatric or lifestyle habits.

Melatonin for patients 18-55 is an off-label use.

Please contact your doctor if you meet any of the following exclusion criteria:

• Under 18 years of age
• Pregnant or breastfeeding
• Received 13 weeks of pharmacist supply of melatonin in the past 12 months
• Have severe sleep problems
