Belsomra Information:

• What

What is Belsomra?

Belsomra is a unique type of anti-insomnia medication that works by acting on orexin receptors. Orexin is a neurotransmitter that was just discovered in 1998. Orexin is produced in the hypothalamus and seems to play a major role in appetite and stimulating wakefulness. By inhibiting Orexin, Belsomra is able to induce and help maintain sleep in those having problems with insomnia.
