Dayvigo How to Take

Dayvigo (Lemborexant) belongs to the class of medications called hypnotics. It is used to treat difficulties falling or staying asleep. There are chemicals called orexins, which are naturally produced in the brain, that play a role in keeping you awake and alert. Dayvigo (Lemborexant) works by temporarily blocking these receptors, which may help you fall asleep and stay asleep.

Dayvigo (Lemborexant) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Dayvigo (Lemborexant) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Dayvigo (Lemborexant) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Dayvigo (Lemborexant) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Dayvigo (Lemborexant), speak to your doctor.

Do not give Dayvigo (Lemborexant) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Dayvigo (Lemborexant) if their doctor has not prescribed it.
