A member asked:
Can a 10 year old boy take 1mg melatonin ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but why?: Melatonin can help with sleep for some and is useful for jet lag. A 10 year old should be able to sleep without artificial aids and it is a good idea not to get him into the habit of using such assistance.
