sodium oxybate .5 g/mL (Sodium Oxybate SOLUTION) .5 g/mL

Sodium oxybate acts as an agonist at GHB receptors and GABA_B receptors, modulating sleep architecture and reducing nocturnal awakenings. It promotes deeper, more restorative sleep by influencing the brain's sleep-wake cycles, thereby improving sleep quality and reducing symptoms of narcolepsy.

The dosage of sodium oxybate is determined by a healthcare professional based on individual patient needs. It is typically taken twice at night, with the first dose at bedtime and the second dose 2.5 to 4 hours later. The exact dosage and schedule should be followed as prescribed.

Sodium oxybate is classified as a Category C drug, meaning it should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. It is not recommended for use during breastfeeding. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
