Does Alteril Make Cronh S Worse?

Yes please. I have Crohn s and was wondering if Alteril will make the disease worse? I have read that Melatonin makes Crohn s worse. I also have restless legs, will this med make that worse too? I take 1mg of Clonazepam each night before bed but still have an awful time getting to sleep.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Alteril is an over-the-counter sleep aid produced and marketed by Biotab Nutraceuticals.
As it is a natural product ,Alteril contains ingredients that are shown to induce and improve sleep. The three primary ingredients are L-Tryptophan, Melatonin and Valerian.

However there is no study supporting your query that Alteril worsens the Crohns disease.

Hope this helps.
