Daridorexant, sold under the brand name Quviviq, is a medication used to treat trouble sleeping.[3] It is used in those who have had problems for at least three months and is only recommended short term.[3] It is taken by mouth half an hour before bed.[2][3]
Common side effects include headache, sleepiness, and tiredness.[2] Other side effects may include depression, sleep paralysis, and complex sleep behavior.[2] It has a relatively low risk of misuse.[2][5] It should not be used in those with severe liver problems or narcolepsy.[2] Safety in pregnancy is unclear.[1] It is a dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA) and works by blocking the action of orexin.[3] It is not a benzodiazepine or Z-drug.[6]
Daridorexant was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2022.[2][3] In the United States a month of medication costs about 470 USD as of 2022.[7] It is not commercially available in the United Kingdom as of 2022.[8] It is a schedule IV controlled substance in the United States.[2]
