  • OREXIN ANTAGONISTS BELSOMRA (Suvorexant), DAYVIGO (Lemborexant)
    OREXIN ANTAGONISTS BELSOMRA (suvorexant), DAYVIGO (lemborexant) RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION IN PA PROGRAM Background Belsomra (suvorexant) and Dayvigo (lemborexant) are orexin receptor antagonists used to treat difficulty in falling and staying asleep (insomnia). Orexins are chemicals that are involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle and play a role in keeping people awake (1-2). Regulatory Status FDA-approved indication: Orexin receptor antagonists are indicated for the treatment of insomnia, characterized by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance (1-2). Orexin Antagonists are contraindicated in patients with narcolepsy (1-2). Orexin Antagonists are central nervous system (CNS) depressants that can impair daytime wakefulness even when used as prescribed. Medications that treat insomnia can cause next-day drowsiness and impair driving and other activities that require alertness. Orexin Antagonists can impair driving skills and may increase the risk of falling asleep while driving. People can be impaired even when they feel fully awake. Patients should also be made aware of the potential for next-day driving impairment, because there is individual variation in sensitivity to the drug (1-2). The failure of insomnia to remit after 7 to 10 days of treatment may indicate the presence of a primary psychiatric and/or mental illness that should be evaluated (1-2). Warnings and precautions that should be discussed with the patient on Orexin Antagonist therapy include adverse reactions on abnormal thinking and behavioral changes (such as amnesia, anxiety, hallucinations and other neuropsychiatric symptoms), complex behaviors (such as sleep- driving, preparing and eating food, or making phone calls), dose-dependent increase in suicidal ideation, and sleep paralysis which is the inability to move or speak for up to several minutes during sleep-wake transitions (1-2).

    Current Hypertension Reports (2018) 20: 79 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11906-018-0879-6 SLEEP AND HYPERTENSION (SJ THOMAS, SECTION EDITOR) Orexins, Sleep, and Blood Pressure Mariusz Sieminski1 & Jacek Szypenbejl1 & Eemil Partinen2,3 Published online: 10 July 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Purpose of Review The aim of this review was to summarize collected data on the role of orexin and orexin neurons in the control of sleep and blood pressure. Recent Findings Although orexins (hypocretins) have been known for only 20 years, an impressive amount of data is now available regarding their physiological role. Hypothalamic orexin neurons are responsible for the control of food intake and energy expenditure, motivation, circadian rhythm of sleep and wake, memory, cognitive functions, and the cardiovascular system. Multiple studies show that orexinergic stimulation results in increased blood pressure and heart rate and that this effect may be efficiently attenuated by orexinergic antagonism. Increased activity of orexinergic neurons is also observed in animal models of hypertension. Summary Pharmacological intervention in the orexinergic system is now one of the therapeutic possibilities in insomnia. Although the role of orexin in the control of blood pressure is well described, we are still lacking clinical evidence that this is a possibility for a new approach in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Keywords Orexin . Hypocretin . Blood pressure . Sleep . Narcolepsy . Autonomic nervous system Introduction cardiovascular system. With such a variety of functions, orexins appear to be a promising target for therapeutic in- We are celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the discov- terventions aimed at solving the most pivotal health prob- ery of hypocretins/orexins.
