Son Taking Melatonin For Sleep. Thinking To Give Mindsoothe Junior. Would They Interact Safely?
Question: My son 12 year old son takes 2mg of melatonin at night for sleep and it works wonderfully. I was thinking of also giving him a product called Mindsoothe Junior which contains St John's Wort and passionflower. Would they interact safely?
Brief Answer:
They have no adverse interactions
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting on this forum,
Those two products or drugs would not interact adversely with each other. Mindsoothe Jr. is a natural remedy relieves depression in Children. Most natural remedies hardly contain any active chemical substances that can interact with other chemicals since they occur naturally and are taken as supplements.
In the actual fact, there are no documented evidence that these two interact with each other and so can be used safely together. How ever, like in most medications, when introducing for the first time, you should watch out for any undesirable effects (but I hardly think there is any with Mindsoothe Jr.).
Hope this helps and wish you the best.
