About this active substance
Sodium oxybate is a medication used for the treatment of narcolepsy, particularly to reduce cataplexy episodes and improve nighttime sleep. It works by modulating the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain, promoting deeper sleep.
The medication is taken orally, usually before bedtime, as directed by your doctor. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and avoid alcohol consumption during treatment.
Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, excessive drowsiness, or, in rare cases, respiratory depression.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions to ensure the safe use of sodium oxybate.
