Details
Melatonin is regulated by Singapore's Health Sciences Authority (HSA) as a Health Supplement.

Bulk quantities, prescription-strength formulations, or unlabelled products may be detained. Carry the original packaging.

Practical advice
Personal-quantity melatonin (OTC supplement) clears as routine in destinations where it is OTC. In prescription-only markets (e.g. UK, France, Germany), declare with prescription if asked.
