Make melatonin easier to obtain and prescribe in the UK

Make melatonin easier to obtain and prescribe in the UK — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Make melatonin easier to obtain and prescribe by reclassifying it or enabling pharmacist-led supply. Currently, prescribing is difficult, often requiring conditions like an ADHD diagnosis, limiting access for many who need it.

Additional details

Melatonin helps regulate sleep and is used safely worldwide. In the UK, it’s hard to access and often requires a prescription, causing delays. Easier access could improve sleep health, reduce pressure on GPs, and provide a safer alternative to stronger sleep medications.
