Insomnia: Melatonin
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has had recent discussions with the MHRA on the potential use of melatonin gummies by the NHS.
- Answer
-
There are no melatonin gummy products licensed in the United Kingdom. Therefore, there is currently no prescribing of these products reimbursable by the National Health Service. While no recent discussions between the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and my Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, on the potential use of melatonin gummies by the NHS have occurred, the MHRA are looking at the reclassification of the products where melatonin may feature as a section of the Primary Care Recovery Plan.
