Common questions

Yes. Melatonin tablets are a solid supplement with no liquid restrictions and are permitted in carry-on everywhere.

No. It is prescription-only in Australia, New Zealand, Germany and several other countries. You can still fly with it, but you may need to declare it at customs and could face quantity restrictions.

A personal supply for the duration of your trip (typically up to 90 days) is usually permitted without issue, but check destination country rules.
