Longevity & Wellness · Sleep & Insomnia Support
Compounded sleep prescriptions.
Prescribers sometimes use compounded extended-release melatonin, magnesium or progesterone for sleep. None of these formulas contain benzodiazepines or Z-drugs. Your prescriber decides what fits you.
How prescribers use compounding for sleep & insomnia support
Extended-release melatonin
An extended-release capsule releases melatonin over several hours instead of all at once.
Magnesium
Magnesium glycinate and magnesium threonate are forms some prescribers include in a sleep formula.
Progesterone
Some prescribers use oral micronized progesterone at bedtime in perimenopause. It needs a hormone-risk review with your prescriber.
What to Expect
What to expect from the process
Step 1
Your prescriber decides
They decide whether a compounded formula fits you, and set the strength, form and length of use.
Step 2
A pharmacist checks it
We review the prescription for dose, interactions and ingredient compatibility before we make anything.
Step 3
A pharmacist counsels you
We explain how to use and store it, the beyond-use date, and which side effects to report.
Step 4
Follow-up is with your prescriber
Ask your prescriber how long before a review and what side effects to report. Changes need a new prescription.
Responses vary from person to person.

Please note: Compounded medications require a prescription from a licensed prescriber for an individual patient. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality. A compounded medication is not the same as, or a generic version of, any FDA-approved drug.
