What is the maximum amt of melitonan for prostate cancer?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on stage: Different doses are being used according to whether it is early, slow-growing, or more advanced, or metastatic. No optimal dose has been established. Doses of 10-50 mg are being tried, but patients are advised to discuss using melatonin with their doc/oncologist before trying it. Avoiding bright light at night is important to prevent lowering melatonin levels; use night lights/red beam flashlight.
