Pharmacotherapy Review of Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy can exact a devastating toll on the (probably underdiagnosed) patient. Treatment can range from lifestyle to medications. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he explores a new oral orexin agonist for the treatment of narcolepsy.
The GameChanger
Narcolepsy is more common than assumed. Current treatments include stimulant agents but a new class of orexin agonists may be effective, yet have safety concerns.
