Swiss biotech company Idorsia (SIX: IDIA) has announced the launch of Quviviq (daridorexant) in its home country.
Switzerland's first approved dual orexin receptor antagonist, Quviviq, is indicated for the treatment of adults with insomnia, characterized by symptoms present for at least three months and considerable impact on daytime functioning. It offers a new targeted mechanism of action that decreases nighttime overactive wakefulness in insomnia.
Rather than inducing sleep through broad inhibition of brain activity, Quviviq blocks the activation of orexin receptors known for their key role in wakefulness.
