GameChangers: Pharmacotherapy Review of Narcolepsy

GameChangers: Pharmacotherapy Review of Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy can exact a devastating toll on the (probably underdiagnosed) patient. Treatment can range from lifestyle to medications. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he explores a new oral orexin agonist for the treatment of narcolepsy.

THE GAMECHANGER: Narcolepsy is more common than assumed. Current treatments include stimulant agents but a new class of orexin agonists may be effective, yet have safety concerns.

Upon successful completion of this course, learners should be able to:
1. Describe the manifestations, prevalence, and types of narcolepsy and associated symptoms.
2. Discuss the benefits and risks of orexin drugs in treatment of narcolepsy.
