Overview

Sunosi is a medicine used to improve wakefulness and reduce excessive daytime sleepiness in adults with narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnoea.

Narcolepsy is a long-term sleep disorder which affects the brain’s ability to regulate the normal sleep-wake cycle. This leads to symptoms such as an irresistible urge to sleep, even at inappropriate times and places, and disturbed night-time sleep. Sunosi is used in patients with or without cataplexy (episodes of severe muscle weakness that can cause collapse). 

Obstructive sleep apnoea is repeated interruption of breathing during sleep due to airways becoming blocked. Sunosi is used when other treatments, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP, use of a ventilator to keep the airways open), have not satisfactorily improved the excessive daytime sleepiness. 

Sunosi contains the active substance solriamfetol.
