Melatonin & HRT

Winterose:
Advice please ; Sent for some melatonin spray to see if it will help with Jetlag when we go on holiday. It says it shouldnt be taken with HRT - does anyone know why and or what it does when taken with HRT? Am on Estradot 75 . Did see somewhere that it might reduce efficiency of HRT. Thank you . :P

Hi Winterose,

I have taken melatonin before and it has helped me sleep when I have problems.  I'm not on HRT.  The only thing I can think of is that they are both hormones?  ;)

Winterose:
Thank you, suspect it must supress the estrogen but will see if anyone has experience of it. Am sure if its only used occasionally it should be ok,  ::)

pixie:
They sell it in health food shops in USA, which is where I got it.  All these things occur naturally in body don't they.  Not much is known about the long-term effects of melatonin, but like you say occasionally if it works...... ;)

honeybun:
I read in a magazine at the doctors that it should not be used for any more than six weeks.

That was as far as I got before my appointment.
