Melatonin Pharmacology

I cover melatonin pharmacology on this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology Podcast. Melatonin is most often used for its ability to promote sleep. While most supplemental dosage forms of melatonin are 1 mg, 3 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg, many patients can get by with less. When melatonin is being used, make sure to look at the medication list to ensure that patients aren't taking any stimulating medications or supplements.
