Committee Recommendations
The Surrey and North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (APC) does not recommend the use of melatonin for use in the treatment of jet lag in adults.
Melatonin for this indication will be given a BLACK status on the traffic light system and is not recommended for use in any health setting across Surrey & North West Sussex health economy.
See policy statement below for further information
At the Surrey and North-West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (APC) held in June 2020, it was decided that all BLACK status drugs would have their review dates extended for 5 years without the need for a review.
If a clinician or provider wishes to change the traffic light status of any BLACK drug then they will need to submit a paper for change as per usual APC process.
