An effective tablet for better sleep.
Quviviq is a prescription-strength tablet for insomnia. You take it shortly before going to bed, and it can help you sleep through the night.
Our clinicians can recommend treatments to help you get the sleep you deserve. Order Quviviq online and start it as soon as the next working day.
Quviviq belongs to a class of medications called dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORA). It’s a tablet that blocks chemical messages in your brain that keep you awake. The tablets help you fall asleep, and stay asleep. With an improved sleep routine, you can function better during the daytime, and complete your usual routines feeling well rested.
Quviviq works by blocking orexin, a neurotransmitter responsible for numerous vital functions in the body, including maintaining energy and regulating appetite. Orexin also plays a part in wakefulness — by blocking this neurotransmitter and stopping it from functioning normally, Quviviq can help you drift off. Its effects should last through the night, which means you can enjoy a healthy night’s sleep.
In two multicentre, randomised, double-blind trials, daridorexant was shown to improve how long patients with insomnia slept for. Both the 25mg and 50mg doses of daridorexant led to improved sleep outcomes, with the 50mg tablets also improving daytime functioning.
This evidence shows that Quviviq might be an effective treatment for your insomnia. A clinician can decide which starting dose of Quviviq they think you’ll need. If you’re starting on one 25mg tablet a day and you feel like your sleep isn’t improving, you can speak to a clinician about upping your dose.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
You should always take the amount of Quviviq you’ve been prescribed, and avoid changing doses until you’ve spoken to one of our clinical team about doing so first.
Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water, half an hour before you go to bed. You can take them with or without food, but if you swallow a tablet just after a large meal, it might take a little longer to work.
The tablets can be used long-term, but a clinician will usually assess whether you need to continue using Quviviq within the first three months of starting treatment.
Quviviq comes in two strengths — 25mg and 50mg tablets. The usual dose is one 50mg tablet a day, taken in the evenings shortly before you go to bed.
For certain people, like those with liver problems or anyone taking other medications that Quviviq might interfere with, one 25mg tablet will be the starting dose.
Taking more Quviviq than you need can make you excessively sleepy and cause muscle weakness. We realise insomnia can cause concentration problems, so if you accidentally take more tablets than you need, go to your nearest hospital and get immediate help.
If you realise you’ve not taken a tablet at your usual time, it might be worth trying to fall asleep naturally if it’s getting late. Taking Quviviq during the night can cause drowsiness the next morning and could lead to further mistakes with your dosage routine.
