Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)
Supplements studied for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
Overview
Melatonin is the only supplement listed for postoperative nausea and vomiting, with low-strength evidence from one small study. Melatonin at 3, 5, or 10 mg one hour before lumbar discectomy did not reduce postoperative nausea compared with placebo.
Current evidence does not support melatonin for PONV in this setting. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below.
