How effective is Quviviq(Daridorexant) in treatment?
Daridorexant can not only help patients fall asleep faster, but also maintain a more stable sleep state, thereby improving the quality of life of patients.
Clinical trials verify efficacy
The therapeutic effect of Daridorexant has been verified by multiple clinical trials. In a key Phase III clinical trial, Daridorexant significantly improved nighttime sleep and daytime function in patients with insomnia. Compared with placebo, Daridorexant can significantly reduce the time it takes patients to fall asleep, the time they wake up at night, and prolong the total sleep time they self-report.
Unique mechanism of action
Quviviq plays a role in treating insomnia by blocking the binding of orexin neuropeptides orexin A and orexin B to their receptors. Orexin plays an important role in maintaining wakefulness and sleep-wake rhythm. Daridorexant helps patients improve insomnia symptoms by inhibiting excessive wakefulness signals and counteracting the overactive brain state of insomnia patients.
Dietary recommendations during the use of Daridorexant
During the use of Daridorexant, patients need to pay attention to the following dietary recommendations:
Avoid irritating foods
During the use of Daridorexant, patients should avoid eating irritating foods, such as sour, sweet, spicy, cold foods, etc. These foods may irritate the gastric mucosa and increase gastric acid secretion, thereby affecting the absorption and metabolism of the drug. High-fat foods, chocolate, coffee, strong tea, etc. should also be avoided as much as possible, because they may affect the patient's sleep quality, thereby weakening the therapeutic effect of the drug.
Balanced diet
In order to maintain physical health and drug efficacy, patients should pay attention to a balanced diet and consume enough nutrients during medication. It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as foods rich in high-quality protein, such as lean meat, fish, beans, etc. These foods not only provide the body with the nutrients it needs, but also help patients improve sleep quality and daytime function.
During medication, patients should follow the doctor's advice, use medication rationally, and pay attention to adjusting their eating habits to improve the therapeutic effect of the medication and quality of life.
