(asked on 7th July 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether melatonin gummies have been prescribed for children on the NHS; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 13th July 2023
There currently are no melatonin gummy products licensed in the United Kingdom. Therefore, there will be no prescribing of these products for children reimbursable by the National Health Service. That said, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is reviewing the reclassification of products where melatonin may feature as a section of the Primary Care Recovery Plan.
