How SUNOSI fits into your day
One pill. Once a day.
SUNOSI works quickly—in as little as 1 hour—and lasts through 9 hours.
This result was measured at 12 weeks in a clinical study.
Take when you wake up in the morning
Take with or without food
SUNOSI didn't interfere with nighttime sleep in a clinical study. Make sure you take it at least 9 hours before your planned bedtime
Your healthcare provider can adjust your dose of SUNOSI to get the best results for you
To help you experience the most possible wakefulness with SUNOSI, your healthcare provider can increase your dose up to 150 mg/day. Always take SUNOSI exactly as prescribed and speak up about any side effects.
If your healthcare provider recommends starting with a 37.5-mg dose, you will need to split your SUNOSI 75-mg tablet in half.

After 3 or more days, your healthcare provider may increase your dose.

Your healthcare provider may need to change the dose of SUNOSI until it is the right dose for you.

Everyone is different. Check in with your healthcare provider to see how you’re doing and discuss dosing options.
The maximum recommended dose is 150 mg once daily.
