Reminder for prescribers that referrals to specialist centres should be made for the assessment and treatment of chronic insomnia, where daridorexant may be one of the treatment options, and not for the purpose of initiating daridorexant’

07 February 2024
Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC) approves daridorexant for the treatment of long-term insomnia in line with NICE TA922

A BLUE traffic light status has been agreed after Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for insomnia (CBTi) where available.

Specialist clinics will need to provide the medicines for the first 4 months (if clinically indicated), providing a review at 3 months to confirm whether treatment should be continued, and prescribing an extra month for those who will continue on treatment to allow for transfer of care to Primary Care

The length of treatment should be as short as possible.
