Obtaining a sodium oxybate prescription online involves a few steps:
When considering treatment options for narcolepsy, it’s important to compare the efficacy, side effect profiles, and administration routes of available medications. Below is a comparison of sodium oxybate with other commonly used treatments:
| Medication | Use Case | Side Effect | Administration |
| Sodium Oxybate (Schedule III) | Narcolepsy (cataplexy, daytime sleepiness) | CNS depression, abuse potential | Oral solution, oral suspension (once in two divided doses) |
| Modafinil (Schedule IV) | Narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, sleep apnea | Headache, lower risk of abuse and misuse) | Oral tablet (once daily) |
| Armodafinil (Schedule IV) | Narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, sleep apnea | Headache, lower risk of abuse and misuse | Oral tablet (once daily) |
Sodium oxybate is used for treating both cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness in narcolepsy. Modafinil and armodafinil are alternatives that primarily address daytime sleepiness and it has a lower risk of abuse and misuse compared to Sodium Oxybate. The choice of medication should be based on individual patient needs and under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
