Instructions for usage, dosage and individualized dose adjustment of DaliRasheng (Keweike)

Daridorexant (Daridorexant) is a new oral dual Orexin receptor antagonist (DORA), mainly used to treat insomnia in adults. Its mechanism of action is by selectively inhibiting Orexin receptor activity and reducing arousal levels, thereby helping patients fall asleep faster, extend total sleep time, and improve sleep quality. The standard recommended dosage is 25mg or 50mg taken orally once, about 30 minutes before going to bed, and should be used under the premise of ensuring at least 7 hours of sleep.

Individualized dose adjustment is an important step in the treatment of DaliRasen. For elderly patients (≥65 years old) or those with mild to moderate impairment of liver function, a starting dose of 25 mg is usually recommended to reduce drug accumulation and risk of side effects. If it is well tolerated and the efficacy is insufficient, it can be increased to 50mg under the guidance of a doctor. For users with severe hepatic impairment or combined with other central nervous system depressants, they should be used with caution and closely monitored for adverse reactions.

During treatment, if the patient experiences symptoms such as excessive drowsiness, dizziness, or decreased coordination, a short-term suspension or dose reduction should be considered, and potential drug interactions should be evaluated. Especially when used in combination with CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers, the blood concentration of dalirexan may change significantly, and the dose needs to be adjusted or the observation interval extended to ensure safety and efficacy.

In addition, individualized treatment also includes comprehensive management of the patient's living habits and sleep patterns. Patients should avoid getting up immediately after taking the medicine to perform dangerous activities, such as driving or operating machinery; at the same time, maintaining a regular schedule and improving the sleep environment will help the medicine to achieve the best effect. Through reasonable dose adjustment and lifestyle intervention, DaliRasen can achieve safe and effective insomnia management.
