Feel Comfortable Holding Orexin Antagonists During Admission

You’ll start to see home med lists include lemborexant (Dayvigo), a new insomnia med.

It joins suvorexant (Belsomra) as the second orexin antagonist. They’re oral tabs taken PRN at bedtime.

These meds block neurotransmitters that promote wakefulness...to help patients fall and stay asleep.
