Prescription-only sleep medicine found in children’s gummies

Parents have been urged to stop giving their children Nutrition Ignition Kids Magnesium Glycinate Gummies after tests found an undeclared prescription-only medicine for sleep disorders.
The gummies, marketed as a magnesium supplement, were found to contain between 1.5 and 1.7mg of melatonin per individual gummy.
Melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle, is a prescription-only medicine in the UK for sleep disorders, with a recommended starting dose of 1mg for children.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has advised parents to dispose of the product and is working with online retailers to remove all listings.
Taking too much melatonin can cause side effects including headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea, and parents are advised to report any suspected adverse reactions.
