HauptmannUK Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 My wife and I travel frequently between homes in UK and Thailand. We've previously used Puritan's Pride 3mg Melatonin tablets to help with time zone adjustment. I've just been looking to buy more on Lazada or Shoppee and no melatonin products are coming up in search. Is melatonin now outlawed in Thailand?

And I also got some from LAB pharmacy. Edited September 9, 2023 by rattlesnake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is melatonin now outlawed in Thailand? How interesting. Purchased some about three weeks ago from Lazada. Now. <poof> Gone. iHerb.com is your friend. Their shipments take about a week.

connda Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 @Sheryl Are you aware of any changes with the Thai FDA that would cause Lazada and Shopee to drop the product? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I do know that in Cambodia all the pharmacies are temporarily out of stock. Likely a supply issue for this part of the world. One can certainly still get it through iHerb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorecard Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) I've used it (not every night) for several years with good result. Last week I ordered a bottle of 80 tabs on LINE Shopping, all paid etc., a few hrs later got a message 'out of stock, no more stock coming', payment fully refunded a few hrs later.

That's for the "heads up" as I guess I'll get my iHerb orders in while I still have some on hand. I wonder why there would be a supply issue here in SE Asia?

scorecard Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I've previously got mine from Piping Rock, shipped from the US, 2 bottles at a time. A few weeks back I tried to repeat the 2 bottles order. The site wouldn't accept my order. Then I got a separate message saying that the government of Thailand has placed Meatonin on a restricted supply list and can now only order 1 bottle at a time. I tried several times to order 1 bottle but the site rejected it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anyone Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) I always thought that people in northern countries need Melatonin because they don't get enough sun. But why is Melatonin needed in Thailand? Edited September 10, 2023 by anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And traveling to different time zones confuses your circadian rhythm and timing of melatonin production. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0ffshore360 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Three weeks back I was in central Silom and on a whim decided to try a small Pharmacy for something I wanted for control/maint. of a glaucoma condition. Very pleasant Pharmacist did not stock but a quick call to a supplier resulted in confirming availability if willing to wait 15 minutes. Agreeing to wait left me perusing counter stocks of many varied items which I clearly recall included a prolific selection of Melatonin products. I specifically noted because there was a time when my wife had difficulty sleeping well and I did purchase a Melatonin product via Lazada. They were effective and established a lasting sleep pattern that quite quickly negated the need to continue using. So I would suggest that for those who are convinced of the efficacy of Melatonin that perhaps a trek chek of the prolific Hole in the Wall Pharmacies that are common in high density urban centers might find desired OTC items still in stock whereas the Bogus franchise sellers of acne treatment and pricey ineffective cosmetics ( Soory, the Pharmacist is not here right Now ( or ever) have no genuine interest and the online sites that may indeed offer convenience also have no problem with "out of stock" search results. Exercising initiative can be rewarding . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
