Abstract

Insomnia is a common condition that may be caused by or coexist with other medical or psychological illnesses. Nearly a quarter of a billion people across the globe suffer from insomnia frequently. Lemborexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist, is a recently authorized hypnotic-based medication for insomnia. The purpose of this systematic review is to further investigate its efficacy and safety profile, with the primary goal of comparing the effects of two FDA-approved doses of lemborexant, 5 mg and 10 mg (LEM5 and LEM10, respectively).
