Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Neurobion Forte  Using Neurobion Forte as placebo, it is a vitamin B-complex supplement that contains a combination of B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cyanocobalamin). It is commonly used to support nerve health, energy production, and overall well-being 
Intervention  Tablet Melatonin  Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is an endogenous sleep regulating hormone secreted by pineal gland. Exogenous administration of melatonin facilitates sleep onset and improves the quality of sleep. The perioperative use of melatonin - in alleviating anxiety, reducing intraoperative anaesthetic requirement, as analgesic for post-operative pain management, to prevent postoperative neurocognitive disorder, have been well-documented by various studies. Recently, studies have reported the effect of oral melatonin premedication on attenuation of haemodynamic response to intubation in adults as melatonin may interfere with the peripheral and central autonomic system, causing a reduction in adrenergic outflow and catecholamines level. It may also bind to specific melatonin receptors ( MT1 & MT2) in the blood vessels, interfering with the vascular response to catecholamines. Moreover, melatonin is a relatively safe drug with minimal side effects

Brief Summary   We aim to evaluate the effects of oral melatonin (6 mg) on hemodynamic responses to intubation and anesthetic requirements in geriatric patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Background & Rationale:
Intubation triggers sympathetic activation, leading to increased heart rate and blood pressure, which can be harmful to elderly patients with cardiovascular conditions.
Commonly used drugs (opioids, beta-blockers, benzodiazepines) can cause adverse effects like hypotension, respiratory depression, and bradycardia.
Melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone, has sedative, anxiolytic, and hemodynamic stabilizing properties with minimal side effects.
The hemodynamic responses are  noted at various times.
