The price of the pill, which has not been announced, will determine how affordable it will be when it becomes available in early 2024.

    Dangerous in the way that it’s a hormonal treatment.

      Melatonin is an oral hormone too, doesnt really mean its unsafe inherently, i think maybe its best to listen to the expert panel for now

        Obviously. Though I’m not particularly fond of US “experts”. If some respectable EU authority says it’s (mostly) safe, I’m gonna believe it’s (mostly) safe.

          Here you go, approval in the UK from 2021.

          This shit is already over the counter in much of Europe.

          Did you do any research whatsoever about this before making such a confident statement about the “danger”? Or are you just going based on your feelings?
