- Japan-based drugmaker Eisai Co’s U.S. subsidiary announced on Sunday that it had received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its insomnia treatment in adult patients.

The treatment belongs to a new class of medications, which target the oxerin system, joining the ranks with Merck & Co’s Belsomra, which was approved in 2014. Following the DEA scheduling of Dayvigo, which usually takes 90 days, Eisai plans to launch the drug by early April of 2020. However, Eisai pointed some caution is to be taken while on the 10 mg dose as it may cause some difficulty in driving the next day after the medication.
