Analysis of whether Dali Leisheng tablets belong to the category of sleeping pills

Although Daridorexant is used to treat insomnia, it is not a "sleeping pill" in the traditional sense. Strictly speaking, it is an "orexin receptor antagonist" that acts on the two orexin receptors OX1R and OX2R in the brain, thereby regulating the neural balance between wakefulness and sleep. It is classified as a class of sleep aid drugs with a novel mechanism.

Compared with traditional benzodiazepines (such as diazepam, lorazepam, etc.) or Z drugs (such as zopiclone, zolpidem), the pharmacological mechanism of Dalirasin is significantly different. Most traditional sleeping pills inhibit neural activity by enhancing GABA receptors. Although they work quickly, they are prone to side effects such as dependence, drug resistance, cognitive retardation, and daytime drowsiness. By blocking the wake-up signal of the orexin system, DaliRasen helps the brain naturally enter a sleep state. The fundamental mechanism is closer to the physiological sleep rhythm, with lighter side effects and lower addiction.

The advent of this new type of drug represents a major change in the thinking of treating insomnia. Research shows that DaliRasen is not only effective in improving difficulty falling asleep, but also effectively prolongs sleep time, especially in patients with sleep maintenance disorders. In addition, due to its short half-life (approximately 8 hours), the residual effect the next day is mild and has less impact on cognitive function during the day, making it suitable for people with a fast pace of daily life.

Although it is still included in the category of "sleep aids", in actual clinical use, doctors usually classify DaliRasen as a "new non-sedating sleep regulating drug" rather than a typical sedative-hypnotic drug. This means that it avoids the addiction risk of traditional sleeping pills to a certain extent and is more suitable for patients with medium to long-term use or who have poor tolerance to benzodiazepines.

To sum up, although DaliRasen is used to treat insomnia, it is not a sleeping pill in the traditional sense, but a modern precision sleep aid treatment method based on neural pathway regulation. For patients with long-term insomnia, it provides a safer and more physiological treatment option for clinical use.
