Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Sneezing And Runny Nose Side Effects Of Melatonin ?
My mother (age 90) uses zolpidem tartrate to get to sleep (can t fall asleep due to loud heartbeat sound in ear as result of tinnitus) with a 10 mg dose at bedtime and when awakening during the night, an additional 5 mg dose. 5 mg of melatonin has been added at bedtime in an attempt to create drowsiness. It seems as though she is now awakening during the night sneezing and with runny nose, creating a need for zolpidem again to fall asleep. I ve seen no side effects posted inicating this condition, but have you witnessed this?
Sneezing and runny nose are not commonly related to side effects of melatonin. These side effects are commmonly related to an allergy. I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine to relieve these symptoms.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
