Compounded Melatonin
Sleep-cycle hormone in custom strengths and delivery forms.
What it does
What Compounded Melatonin is and why doctors prescribe it.
Melatonin is the hormone produced by the pineal gland that signals nighttime to the body. Doctors prescribe compounded melatonin (sublingual troches, time-release capsules) when standard supplement strengths or release patterns don't fit the patient's sleep architecture or shift-work schedule.
How it works
Mechanism in plain English.
Melatonin binds MT1 and MT2 receptors in the brain to promote sleep onset and align circadian rhythm. The shape of the melatonin pulse — fast onset, sustained release, or pulsed — affects clinical effect, which is why compounded forms exist: time-release capsules or troches matched to the patient's needs.
How long it's been studied
Research history.
Melatonin was isolated in 1958. Decades of sleep, circadian, and shift-work research inform its clinical use. Compounded melatonin is dispensed under 503A.
Dosing
Clinical context for the prescribing doctor.
Doctor-prescribed at custom strengths. Compounded melatonin is typically dispensed in the 0.3–10 mg range, in time-release or sublingual forms selected by the prescribing doctor based on the patient's sleep pattern.
This page is informational, not a dispensing aid. Compounded Melatonin is dispensed only on a patient-specific prescription written by a licensed doctor for an identified patient. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and should not be evaluated using branded-drug trial data. Availability varies by state and prescribed medication.
