Dayvigo

How is this medication used?

Dayvigo is typically taken orally, once per night, immediately before bedtime, with at least 7-8 hours remaining before the planned time of awakening. It should be taken exactly as prescribed by the healthcare provider, and patients are advised not to take it with or immediately after a heavy, high-fat meal, as this can affect its absorption.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects may include daytime drowsiness, dizziness, headache, and unusual dreams or nightmares. Some people may experience more severe side effects, such as complex sleep behaviors like sleepwalking, which can lead to potential injury, or worsening depression and suicidal thoughts. It is important to contact a healthcare provider immediately if severe or concerning side effects occur.

What are the potential interactions?

Dayvigo may interact with other medications, which can alter how it or the other medications work and increase the risk of serious side effects. It is known to have interactions with central nervous system depressants, CYP3A inhibitors, and alcohol. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications, supplements, and herbal products they are taking to avoid potential interactions.
