Insomnia | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2020

Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by daytime dysfunction as a result of one or more sleep problems. The treatment of insomnia is highly individualized, and physicians consider multiple factors when selecting an appropriate therapeutic. The primary goal of treatment is to improve patients’ quality of sleep, with minimal next-day side effects. Although generics are entrenched in the insomnia treatment algorithm, new therapies have launched in the U.S. market, such as the dual orexin receptor antagonists Belsomra (Merck) and Dayvigo (Eisai), and the pipeline is becoming increasingly active.
