With its clear indications, lemborexant has brought new treatment options to adult insomnia patients, effectively alleviating patients' difficulties in initiating and maintaining sleep and improving their quality of life.
lemborexant Dosage and Administration
Understanding and correctly mastering the dosage and administration of lemborexant is the key to avoiding adverse reactions.
Recommended dose and time of administration
The recommended starting dose of lemborexant is 5 mg, taken once a night before bedtime, and should be taken at least 7 hours before the planned waking time. If the clinical response is good and tolerable, the dose can be gradually increased to the maximum recommended dose of 10 mg.
Dosage adjustment in special circumstances
lemborexant should be avoided in patients taking it in combination with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors. If it must be taken in combination with a weak CYP3A inhibitor, the maximum recommended dose is 5 mg. The maximum recommended dose for patients with moderate liver impairment is also 5 mg, while it is not recommended for patients with severe liver impairment.
Precautions for use
lemborexant should be taken with a certain interval between meals to avoid delaying the time to fall asleep. Patients should follow the doctor's advice and monitor liver function and lung condition regularly.
Mastering and correctly implementing the usage and dosage of lemborexant is the basis for maximizing patient benefits. Doctors should give personalized dosage adjustments and medication instructions based on the patient's specific situation.
Adverse reactions of lemborexant
Although lemborexant has a good effect in improving insomnia, it may also cause a series of adverse reactions.
The most common adverse reactions
Somnolence is the most common adverse reaction in patients treated with lemborexant, and its incidence is much higher than that in the placebo group. It may also include symptoms such as headache, nausea, and fatigue.
Risk of adverse reactions in special populations
Elderly patients, patients with impaired liver function, and patients using CYP3A inhibitors may face a higher risk of adverse reactions. When using lemborexant, you should be more cautious and closely monitor the patient's reaction.
Prevention and treatment measures
To reduce the risk of adverse reactions, patients should follow the doctor's advice and avoid taking it with other drugs that may interact. Pay attention to your own body's reaction. If you feel uncomfortable or have serious side effects, you should stop using it immediately and inform your doctor.
