A member asked:
Is melatonin a safe sleep aid if currently taking synthroid (thyroxine) and lipitor(generic)? have read conflicting opinions...thanks!

Interactions: Melatonin interacts with both Lipitor (atorvastatin) and synthroid as well as with a host of other drugs. The interaction howver, is mild and creates no problem.
