Sunosi Dosing Regimen
Sunosi, a medication used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness, is available in two strengths: 150 mg and 300 mg [1]. The recommended starting dose for Sunosi is 150 mg once daily [1].
Adjusting Sunosi Dosage
Patients may take Sunosi either in the morning upon waking or in the evening before bedtime [1]. If the initial 150 mg dose is insufficient, the dosage can be increased to 300 mg once daily [1]. This adjustment should be made based on individual patient response and tolerability [1].
