摘要:
Methods of treating sleep disorders, particularly certain aspects of insomnia, in elderly patients (65 years and older) by administering initial daily dosages of doxepin of 1-3 mg. These ultra-low initial dosages are more effective in elderly versus non-elderly patients in decreasing wake time during sleep, latency to persistent sleep and wake time after sleep, and are particularly efficacious in treating those conditions in the last hour of an 8-hour sleep cycle. Also, the dosages described herein are safe for elderly individuals.
摘要:
The invention relates to use of the trans-(E) isomer or isomeric mixtures containing specified ratios of the trans-(E) and cis-(Z) isomers of doxepin, metabolites of doxepin, pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of doxepin and prodrugs of the same; compositions containing the same, for the treatment of sleep disorders
