Sodium Oxybate
Sodium Oxybate is a medication primarily used to treat narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks. It helps improve nighttime sleep and reduces daytime sleepiness by acting on the central nervous system.
This drug is a form of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) and is typically taken in liquid form. Due to its potential for misuse, it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries, requiring careful monitoring by healthcare providers.
