Dayvigo(lemborexant) Side Effects

DAYVIGO is a medication used to treat insomnia in adults and belongs to the class of orexin receptor antagonists. While it helps patients improve sleep, it also has some potential side effects.

Dayvigo(lemborexant) Side Effects

1. Reduced Consciousness and Alertness

DAYVIGO's mechanism of action involves affecting certain areas of the brain, which may cause patients to feel drowsy, dizzy, or slow to respond after taking the drug. This effect may persist not only through the night but also into the next day, impacting daily life and work.

2. Impaired Ability to Drive Safely and Think Clearly

Given that DAYVIGO may reduce consciousness and alertness, patients should avoid activities requiring high concentration and quick reflexes, such as driving or operating heavy machinery, the morning after taking the drug.

3. Daytime Drowsiness

In addition to influencing nighttime sleep quality, DAYVIGO may cause daytime drowsiness, possibly due to residual drug effects or individual variations in response. Patients should avoid tasks requiring wakefulness during treatment to prevent accidents.

Patients using DAYVIGO should strictly follow their doctor’s advice and read the medication guide carefully. They should monitor for the above side effects and report any discomfort promptly. Doctors may adjust the dosage or switch medications based on the patient’s condition to minimize side effects.
