Dayvigo is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs). It works by blocking the action of orexin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that plays a role in wakefulness, helping patients to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Dayvigo is commonly prescribed for treating insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance.
This medication is typically taken orally before bedtime, and its effects can last through the night to help you enjoy a more restful sleep. Because it specifically targets orexin receptors, Dayvigo minimizes the risk of dependency, which is a common concern with other types of sleep medications.
Dayvigo is FDA-approved solely for the treatment of insomnia, providing a targeted solution for those struggling with sleep disturbances. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Dayvigo to ensure the best possible outcome and to minimize potential side effects.
It is crucial not to perform activities that require full mental alertness, such as driving, until you know how Dayvigo affects you. If you experience unusual sleep behaviors or other side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Dayvigo has specific FDA-approved uses, ensuring a clear and targeted approach to managing insomnia. If you have any questions about why a medication is prescribed, feel free to ask your online doctor. We at Reimagine encourage open discussion regarding treatment plans and we want our patients to be well-informed.

Dayvigo is typically taken orally before bedtime, and it’s important to ensure you have at least 7 hours to sleep before taking it. Always adhere to the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Dayvigo may cause various side effects, most of which are generally mild and related to physical discomfort. Common side effects include drowsiness, headache, and strange dreams. Many side effects that appear when an individual first starts taking the medication often go away after the first few weeks.
Less frequently, more severe side effects can occur, although they are rare. These may include sleep behaviors such as sleepwalking, sleep-driving, and other activities while not fully awake. It is crucial to recognize these behaviors early and report them to your healthcare provider immediately.
Dayvigo can also cause transient amnesia, meaning you might not remember activities you performed while under the influence of the medication. It is strongly recommended that you do not engage in activities requiring full mental alertness until you know how Dayvigo affects you.
If you experience any severe side effects or notice new or concerning symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention, including calling 911 if necessary. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns about the side effects of Dayvigo.
