It manifests in a sudden loss of muscle strength, resulting in slurred speech, jawdropping, drooping eyelids, and involuntary twitching amongst others. Cataplexy remains the confirming and conclusive diagnostic measurement of narcolepsy, making narcolepsy with cataplexy or type 1 narcolepsy the fastest-growing segment in the global market. Patients can experience this debilitating condition at a later stage as well. By the end of 2026, type 1 narcolepsy will hold 65% of the global market, predicts Fairfield Market Research. Sodium Oxybate Remain Undisputed Drug for Treating Narcolepsy Sodium oxybate is the unrivalled leading drug in the global narcolepsy drugs market. By the end of 2021, this drug is expected to hold a market share of 52% in the global market. This dominance can be attributed to its ability to treat cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is expected to bode well for the segment. Furthermore, it is the only drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating cataplexy. Sold under the brand name Xyrem, sodium oxybate is best known to reduce the frequency of sleep attacks in patients with narcolepsy. Stimulants such as modafinil, amodafonil, antidepressents, and tricuclical are also used in combination to treat narcolepsy. However, sodium oxybate’s results remain far better, giving the drug class an edge over others. North America to Hold Lion’s Share in Global Narcolepsy Drugs Market
