Solriamfetol Overview
-
Solriamfetol is used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness caused by narcolepsy (a condition that causes excessive daytime sleepiness). Solriamfetol is also used along with breathing devices or other treatments to prevent excessive daytime sleepiness caused by obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS; a sleep disorder in which the patient briefly stops breathing or breathes shallowly many times during sleep and therefore doesn't get enough restful sleep). Solriamfetol is in a class of medications called wakefulness promoting agents. It works by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances in the brain that controls sleep and wakefulness.
