  • Melatonin: Is a “Natural” Sleep Aid as Harmless as We Think? - Frankly Speaking Ep 476
    Mar 16 2026

    Credits: 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ CME/CE Information and Claim Credit: https://www.pri-med.com/online-education/podcast/frankly-speaking-cme-476

    Overview: Melatonin is widely used and often perceived as a safe, natural solution for insomnia. However, a new preliminary study raises concerns about long-term melatonin use and increased risk of heart failure, hospitalization, and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic insomnia. In this episode, we review the findings, discuss how they fit with existing evidence, explore limitations, and offer practical guidance for clinicians counseling patients about sleep supplements.
