My 12 year old daughter took 10mg of melatonin. is that safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not studied: Melatonin is a supplement and has not been studied for safety by the fda. 10mg is higher than the recommended dose. I have had a few patients use that dose without any obvious problems. That doesn't mean it is safe or not safe. You are on your own when using supplements, as far as safety and safe dosages.
