FAQ
What is the difference between this melatonin and melatonin from Chemist Warehouse?
The melatonin we supply at Simple Online Doctor is prescription strength melatonin. While Chemist Warehouse does sell the prescription strength of melatonin, much of their range is over the counter low dose melatonin. At these doses, melatonin has not been proven effective, unlike the prescription strength.
As opposed to Chemist Warehouse melatonin we provide a medical assessment and doctor's prescription with our service to try and make prescription melatonin as safe and as accessible as possible to those who need it.
Is melatonin prescription only in Australia?
Yes, melatonin is prescription only for the majority of Australians. It has become available over the counter from a pharmacist, but only to those over 55 years old for short term use. All other people will need to consult a doctor for a melatonin prescription.
Does melatonin come in higher strengths than 2mg?
In Australia, the only melatonin available comes in 2mg and is prescription only for those under 55. If your doctor decides you require a higher dose, they may have you get a higher dose such as melatonin 5mg compounded at a compounding pharmacy. Overseas suppliers may offer higher strengths of melatonin however it is STRONGLY recommended not to use these medicines as they are unregulated and potentially unsafe. For your safety, only buy melatonin online from an Australian registered online service or pharmacy.
Is it legal to buy melatonin online in Australia?
Melatonin remains a prescription-only medicine for those under 55. In order to buy melatonin 2mg, you will require a prescription from an Australian registered doctor. This means you may buy melatonin online provided you are receiving your prescription and medicine from an Australia regulated doctor and pharmacy service such as Simple Online Doctor.
Can I buy melatonin liquid or melatonin spray?
No, in prescription strengths, melatonin is only available in tablet form. The Liquid melatonins that are available are often very low doses and have not been proven effective in clinical trials.
What does melatonin MR mean?
The MR stands for modified release. The tablets are specially made to release the dose slowly. This allows their effect to occur over a number of hours rather than all at once. This improves their effectiveness. Swallow the tablets whole, do not crush or chew melatonin tablets.
