quviviq

The recommended dosage is 25 mg to 50 mg once per night, taken orally within 30 minutes before going to bed, with at least 7 hours remaining prior to planned awakening. ( 2.1 ) Time to sleep onset may be delayed if taken with or soon after a meal. ( 2.1 ) Hepatic Impairment: ( 2.3 ) Moderate hepatic impairment: Maximum recommended dosage is 25 mg no more than once per night. Severe hepatic impairment: Not recommended. 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage range is 25 mg to 50 mg of QUVIVIQ taken orally no more than once per night within 30 minutes of going to bed (with at least 7 hours remaining prior to planned awakening). Time to sleep onset may be delayed if taken with or soon after a meal [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 2.2 Dosage Recommendations for Concomitant Use with CYP3A4 Inhibitors or CYP3A4 Inducers Co-administration with Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors Avoid concomitant use of QUVIVIQ with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 [see Drug Interactions (7.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Co-administration with Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors The recommended dosage of QUVIVIQ is 25 mg no more than once per night when used with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 [see Drug Interactions (7.1) , Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Co-administration with Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Avoid concomitant use of QUVIVIQ with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers [see Drug Interactions…

The following are discussed in detail in other sections of the labeling: CNS-Depressant Effects and Daytime Impairment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Worsening of Depression/Suicidal Ideation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Sleep Paralysis, Hypnagogic/Hypnopompic Hallucinations, and Cataplexy-like Symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Complex Sleep Behaviors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Patients with Compromised Respiratory Function [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] The most common adverse reactions (reported in ≥ 5% of patients treated with QUVIVIQ and at an incidence ≥ than placebo) were headache and somnolence or fatigue.

The safety of QUVIVIQ was evaluated in three placebo-controlled clinical studies (two 3-month studies of identical design [Study 1 and Study 2], and a 9-month extension study [Study 3]). Study 1 evaluated 50 mg and 25 mg doses of QUVIVIQ, while Study 2 evaluated a 25 mg dose…

QUVIVIQ is contraindicated: in patients with narcolepsy. in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to daridorexant or any components of QUVIVIQ. Angioedema with pharyngeal involvement has been reported [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Narcolepsy. ( 4 ) Known hypersensitivity to daridorexant or other components of QUVIVIQ. ( 4 )

There is limited clinical experience with QUVIVIQ overdose. In clinical pharmacology studies, healthy subjects were administered single doses of up to 200 mg (4 times the maximum recommended dose) of QUVIVIQ. The following adverse reactions were observed: somnolence, muscle weakness, cataplexy-like symptoms, sleep paralysis, disturbance in attention, fatigue, headache, and constipation. There is no specific antidote to an overdosage of QUVIVIQ. In the event of an overdose, general symptomatic and supportive medical care, along with immediate gastric lavage where appropriate, should be provided and patients should be carefully monitored. Dialysis is unlikely to be effective as daridorexant is highly protein bound. Consider contacting the Poison Help Line (1-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdosage management recommendations.

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. ( 2.2 , 7.1 ) Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors: Maximum recommended dose is 25 mg. ( 2.2 , 7.1 ) Moderate or Strong CYP3A4 inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on QUVIVIQ Table 2 describes clinically significant drug interactions where the concomitant use of other drugs affects QUVIVIQ. Table 2 Effects of Other Drugs on QUVIVIQ Strong or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors Clinical Implications: Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor increases exposure to daridorexant [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of QUVIVIQ adverse reactions. Prevention or Management: The recommended dose of QUVIVIQ is 25 mg when used with a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Concomitant use of QUVIVIQ with a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 is not recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Inducers Clinical Implications: Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer decreases exposure to daridorexant [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the efficacy of QUVIVIQ. Prevention or Management: Concomitant use of QUVIVIQ with a strong or moderate inducer of CYP3A4 is not recommended [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ] . Alcohol and Other CNS Depressants Clinical Implications: Concomitant use of alcohol or other CNS depressants with QUVIVIQ may lead to additive impairment of psychomotor performance and risk of CNS depression [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Prevention or Management: Avoid alcohol consumption with QUVIVIQ [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Use with caution in patients receiving CNS depressants. Consider dose adjustment of QUVIVIQ and/or the CNS depressant(s) if used concomitantly [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . 7.2 Effects of QUVIVIQ on Other Drugs Table 3 describes clinically significant drug interactions where the concomitant use of QUVIVIQ affects other drugs. Table 3 Effects of QUVIVIQ on Other Drugs CYP3A4 Substrates Clinical Implications: Concomitant use of QUVIVIQ with CYP3A4 substrates increases the exposure to CYP3A4 substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management: Use with caution in patients receiving CYP3A4 substrates with narrow therapeutic index. P-gp Substrates Clinical Implications: Concomitant use of QUVIVIQ with P-gp substrates increases the exposure to P-gp substrate [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management: Use with caution in patients receiving P-gp substrates with a narrow therapeutic index.
