    Journal: Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol; 2019 Aug; 12(8):723-728. PubMed ID: 31215815.
    Abstract:
    Introduction: Narcolepsy is a chronic disabling condition, excessive daytime somnolence is the main symptoms of it. There is currently no cure for narcolepsy, and hence there is a great need for new treatment options. Solriamfetol is a new selective dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor with robust wake-promoting effects. The purpose of this paper is to review solriamfetol. Areas covered: The chemical property, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, and safety of solriamfetol are introduced in this paper. Expert opinion: Solriamfetol can bind to dopamine and norepinephrine transporters and inhibit reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine. Clinical trials showed that solriamfetol could significantly improve the ability to stay awake and subjective symptoms of excessive sleepiness in adults with narcolepsy. Solriamfetol was well tolerated. Very common adverse reactions were headache, nausea, decreased appetite, insomnia, and anxiety.
