Pitolisant/
Pitolisant is a drug designed to promote wakefulness and so reduce excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), whilst also resulting in a significant reduction in cataplexy. This dual action may be because it works by increasing the activity of histamine neurons in the brain, a mechanism that is completely different to most classic stimulants. There is also some evidence that Pitolisant helps reduce the symptoms of idiopathic hypersomnia.
