Who prescribed this ? When our GP prescribes something I’m not happy with I ask if there are different options. We use Melatonin for our youngest, I order it from iHerb

Hope all is going well! There are really interesting comments on this!

Goodness me, I’ve never heard of a child being given medication to sleep. All the fructose doesn’t sound good. But if the Dr prescribed it and it’s just a short term solution, it’s probably fine

As long as you feel happy in your decision you are doing the right thing.

Wondering on an update? How is she going?

isn’t she too young to be having this stuff

I would see if there’s any other alternative ways to help her rest.

I hope all is working out well, if your dr wants her on them then she sould take them

I would suggest going to Pharmacy and asking if there is anything natural for kids

How did you end up going?

try putting it in cordial. . . . . . . . . ..

Hope you found the advise your looking for

How did you end up going with disguising the taste?

A second opinion perhaps, and from a naturopath too.

I guess it also depends on the reasons behind prescribing this medication my son has sleep issues and is ADHD he has been prescribed melatonin to help him sleep melatonin is produced naturally in the body but some of us don’t produce enough of it I would go back to ur doctor and see what they suggust

Hope you’ve found an answer to your problem and things improve for you. I personally would try to find an alternative

The natural remedies are a lot safer

I’m with tracey, that seems odd to me. I’d be more inclined to try some more natural ways of getting her to sleep, otherwise talk to your doctor or chemist and see if there’s something else they can suggest

i’m surprised that a sugar base is used in a sedative.

Chemist is ur best bet for answers
