Information about Sunosi (Solriamfetol)
Sunosi is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient solriamfetol. It is primarily used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Solriamfetol is a wakefulness-promoting agent that works by increasing the release of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, which helps to improve alertness and reduce sleepiness.
Product Highlights
- Sunosi is used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness in individuals with narcolepsy, a disorder characterized by uncontrollable sleep episodes.
- Sunosi is also prescribed for excessive daytime sleepiness in adults with OSA, a disorder where the airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing frequent awakenings.
Key Ingredient
Key Benefits
- Solriamfetol helps improve alertness and reduce excessive daytime sleepiness, making it easier for patients to stay awake during the day.
- Unlike traditional stimulants, Sunosi is not as likely to cause the "high" or dependency associated with some other medications for sleep disorders.
- It provides a prolonged effect, allowing patients to experience a steady improvement in wakefulness throughout the day without significant peaks and troughs in energy levels.
- Since it is taken in the morning, it is less likely to interfere with nighttime sleep compared to some other wakefulness-promoting agents.
Direction of Use
- Sunosi is typically taken once daily in the morning, with or without food.
- The usual starting dose is 75 mg per day, which can be adjusted based on the individual’s response and tolerance.
- The maximum recommended dose is 150 mg per day.
- Taking Sunosi at the same time each day is important to ensure consistent wakefulness.
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's nearly time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at once.
Safety Concerns
- Typical side effects may include headache, nausea, loss of appetite, anxiety, and insomnia.
- There is a potential for increased blood pressure and heart rate, as well as the risk of psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and agitation.
- Although Sunosi has a lower risk of abuse compared to other stimulants, caution should still be exercised in patients with a history of substance abuse.
- Sunosi can increase blood pressure and heart rate, so regular monitoring is recommended, especially in patients with existing cardiovascular conditions.
- Sunosi should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits exceed the possible risks to the fetus. It is unclear whether solriamfetol passes into breast milk, so caution is recommended while breastfeeding.
Avoid Sunosi (Solriamfetol) If
- You are allergic to solriamfetol or any of the components in Sunosi.
- You have a history of cardiovascular problems, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, or arrhythmias.
- You have a history of mental health issues, including severe anxiety, depression, or psychosis.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
- You have a history of drug or alcohol abuse, as Sunosi may be habit-forming in some cases.
