About pitolisant

What is pitolisant?
Pitolisant (brand name Wakix; also marketed as Ozawade internationally) is a prescription medication used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy in people with narcolepsy. It is FDA-approved for adults and for children aged 6 years and older with EDS.

Pitolisant is a first-in-class histamine H₃ receptor antagonist/inverse agonist. By increasing histamine levels in the brain, it helps promote wakefulness and reduce the frequency of cataplexy episodes (sudden muscle weakness).

It is available as film-coated tablets in two strengths: 4.45 mg and 17.8 mg. The medication is typically taken once daily in the morning.

Pitolisant is classified as a eugeroic, or wake-promoting agent, and does not carry the same abuse potential as traditional stimulants such as amphetamines or methylphenidate.

Treatment usually starts at a lower dose and gradually increases. It may take several weeks—up to 8—for the full benefits to appear.

How to get a pitolisant prescription online?

Obtaining a pitolisant prescription online involves these steps:

  • Book a virtual visit: Schedule an appointment with a licensed provider on telehealth platforms like Klarity Health.
  • Medical evaluation: The provider will assess your symptoms, medical history, and current medications.
  • Prescription fulfillment: If pitolisant is appropriate, the prescription is sent to your chosen pharmacy or arranged for home delivery.

How does pitolisant compare to other medications?

Comparing pitolisant to common narcolepsy treatments:

MedicationUse CaseSide Effect RiskControlled?Administration
Pitolisant (Wakix)EDS ± cataplexy in narcolepsyLow–moderate (insomnia, anxiety)No (non-controlled)Oral daily
ModafinilEDS in narcolepsy, sleep apneaLow (headache, nausea)NoOral daily
MethylphenidateEDS, ADHDModerate (cardiac, insomnia)Yes (Schedule II)Oral
Sodium oxybateCataplexy, EDS (night dosing)Moderate–high (CNS, abuse risk)Yes (Schedule III)Oral, night-time dosing
Amphetamines (Adderall)EDS, ADHDHigh (addiction, cardiovascular)Yes (Schedule II)Oral

Pitolisant is a non-controlled alternative with once-daily dosing and a lower risk of abuse, making it a favorable choice for patients who want to avoid traditional stimulants.
