Description
What Is Daridorexant (Quviviq®)?
Daridorexant UK treatment is supplied under the brand name Quviviq UK. It belongs to a newer class of medicines known as dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs). Unlike traditional sleeping tablets, Quviviq works by calming wakefulness signals in the brain rather than causing sedation.
Quviviq tablets UK are intended for adults with insomnia that significantly affects quality of life or daytime performance.
