Lemborexant 5mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Lemborexant 5mg is an orexin-receptor antagonist for insomnia involving difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. It acts on wakefulness signalling rather than benzodiazepine receptors.

How to use

Take once immediately before bedtime only when at least 7 hours remain before planned waking. A meal can delay its onset. Do not take a second dose during the same night.

How it works

Lemborexant blocks orexin-1 and orexin-2 receptors, reducing the wake-promoting signals that maintain alertness.

Side effects

Next-day sleepiness, fatigue, headache, vivid dreams or sleep paralysis can occur. Sleepwalking or other activities performed while not fully awake requires stopping treatment and prompt assessment.

Important information

Avoid alcohol and additional sedatives. Narcolepsy is a contraindication. Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors and significant liver impairment can make treatment unsuitable. Driving ability may be impaired the following morning.
