Thanks for the link! You seem to be able to buy it online...but not over the counter. It appears to be prescription only from what I've heard.
The Medicines Control Agency declared in 1995 that melatonin should be restricted to prescription, as it is a hormone. Canada has taken a similar stance. However, across the border in the US, melatonin is sold freely as an antioxidant or food supplement. At present, it is not unlawful for UK residents to bring melatonin into the country if purchased legally elsewhere, but it may only be distributed here on prescription on a named patient basis only.

Yay for lax US drug laws!

I wasn't aware of the urgency and I was just chatting really and trying to come to a conclusion for you.
I never claimed to be an expert on UK anything I do however know about things from this end, I though it might help. Sorry I wasted your time.
No, you didn't waste my time at all. I'm sorry my comment came off as harsh, I didn't mean it to.
There is no requirement that prescription drugs be patented. Patents are there to protect the developer of the drug from infringement by others. Prescription requirements are there to protect the public from taking drugs that may be dangerous without doctor's supervision. The two protections have nothing to do with each other.

What's with the evil grin? No, I can read them if there's just more than one answer because I have to 'read all answers' first. Don't ask me why, it's doing my head in.
haha, I just got the evil grin. Don't mind me, I'm not completely with it today...
LOL! Sounds like you could use some melatonin yourself. ;-)

This doesn't answer the question and in fact, your advice is pretty dangerous.
It was not meant to be dangerous, i do not know what part you are refering too, maybe the internet address where i bought those drugs, no worries it closed down many years ago.
I was simply trying to warn people how they can without thinking run into traps and may well be buying banned goods, anyway i do not think the uk would have banned melatonin for nothing. Add an Answer Is it legal to import melatonin into the UK from abroad? How much can be imported? How to write a good answerYour answer:
