Pitolisant-wakix where to buy

Pitolisant Tablets (Pitolisant)-wakix is used to treat narcolepsy in adults, adolescents, and children 6 years of age and older. Narcolepsy is a long-term sleep disorder that affects the brain's ability to regulate normal sleep-wake cycles. This leads to symptoms such as an unquenchable urge to sleep even at inappropriate times and places, and disturbed sleep at night. Some patients also develop severe muscle weakness (cataplexy), which may lead to collapse. Wakix is u200bu200bused in patients with and without cataplexy.

Narcolepsy is rare, and Tilolisan tablets are designated as an "orphan drug" (i.e., a drug for a rare disease). The active substance pitolisant in Tilolisan tablets prevents histamine from attaching to receptors (targets) on nerve cells, called "histamine H3 receptors." As a result, more histamine is produced in the brain, which attaches to another receptor called the "histamine H1 receptor." This increases the activity of certain brain cells called histamine neurons, which are important in regulating sleep and wakefulness.

Tilorisen tablets have been launched in China under the trade name Hua Kesi, but they have not yet been included in medical insurance. The specific price in China is not yet clear. Due to the short time on the market, it may be difficult to purchase them in China. The original version of tilorisen tablets marketed overseas is sold under the trade name Wakix. It is available in two specifications: 4.45mg*30 and 17.8mg*30. The price of each box may be more than 4,000 yuan (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rates). Currently, there are no generic versions of tilorisen tablets produced and marketed overseas. For more drug information and specific prices, please consult Yaode Medical Consultant.
