Your Insomnia Treatment Options
Quviviq® (daridorexant) is a prescription-only medicine licensed to treat adults with insomnia, where symptoms have been present for at least three months and have a considerable impact on daytime functioning. It works differently from traditional sleeping tablets: rather than sedating you, Quviviq® blocks orexin, the brain chemical that keeps you awake and alert. By dialling down this “wake” signal, it helps you fall asleep more easily and stay asleep through the night, without the grogginess often associated with older sleep medications. Available in 25mg and 50mg doses, Quviviq® is designed for short-term use alongside good sleep habits, and the right dose will be determined during your consultation. It is not suitable for everyone, so our pharmacy team will review your suitability before any treatment is prescribed.
