The great danger affecting human health is both on the shelves of the market and in places where we can come across it at any time on the internet. Sales of the hormone melatonin increased with the regulation in July. As the danger grows, warnings are coming from pharmacists. Melatonin, which can be sold in tablet, capsule, mouthwash and solution forms, not only reduces the effect of some hormones we secrete. Here are the details of the danger of melatonin…
“OUT OF CONTROL”
One of the methods preferred by those who have sleep problems is the hormone melatonin, which can be taken from outside. According to the news in CNN Turk, pharmacists for melatonin, which can now be sold in the markets, “It has started to go out of the pharmacy and this means that it is out of control.”
Melatonin hormone can appear in front of the citizens on the internet sites as well as in the markets. Thus, the number is increasing exponentially, and the danger is growing.
IT IS PRODUCED AS A FOOD SUPPLEMENT
Pharmacists state that the hormone is presented with indications, claims that it works in a particular treatment, and “incredible” campaigns.
The approval authority of melatonin, which was once bought by prescription from the pharmacy, passed to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry as of July. However, it started to be produced as a food supplement and sales increased, and it entered the market shelves.
With the production of tablets, capsules and mouthwash solutions, some websites turned this into an opportunity and included it in their campaigns. The consumer makes a choice by looking at the brand and milligram.
“MUST BE USED UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE PHYSICIAN”
On the other hand, pharmacists warn against unconscious use when they say that “the biggest danger here is that public health is threatened in this way”:
“There are cases where the effects of some hormones that we secrete in our body decrease as well as increase them. Therefore, these products must be used under the supervision of a physician.”
