Belsomra: Difference between revisions

Belsomra is a medication that is prescribed for the treatment of insomnia in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs called orexin receptor antagonists that work by blocking the action of a chemical in the brain that promotes wakefulness. Belsomra helps to improve sleep quality and duration by reducing the time it takes to fall asleep and decreasing the number of times a person wakes up during the night. It is important to take Belsomra as directed by a healthcare provider and to avoid driving or engaging in other activities that require mental alertness until the effects of the medication are known.
