Daridorexant and Eszopiclone: interaction and safety
This source-based reference is not a personal treatment recommendation. The relevance and management of an interaction depend on the exact products, route, dose and clinical situation.
Interaction mechanism
Combining medicines used for insomnia can produce additive CNS depression and impairment.
Clinical significance and safety
Daridorexant should not be combined routinely with Eszopiclone as another insomnia treatment. The daridorexant label does not recommend use with other medicines for insomnia because sedating effects and impairment can add together. A prescriber should review any planned switch or overlap.
