- Hey Sleep Warrior,
As a sleep apnea doctor for over 20 years, I’ve dreamed about the day when I could prescribe a pill to treat the complex problem of sleep apnea.
Although we aren’t there yet, in today’s Sleep Byte, I’ll discuss a new treatment option currently being studied - and how you can get involved. The oral medication, AD109, is a new combination of medications in pill form that is showing promise in the treatment of sleep apnea.
Learn more about AD109 and what it may mean for the future of sleep apnea treatment.
Sleep Well,

For those with severe sleep apnea this could likely complement well the cpap or asv machines.
I will wait to see who gets sick off it
I tried something similar by combining a Breathe Right strip, Flonase, and a muscle relaxant.
Wonder if it’ll work for people with complete concentric collapse level 2?
Smiling doctors who are proud of how long they take to evaluate new medicines discuss most of us.
Are you seriously suggesting that a slow approach to medication development is a bad thing? (I’m assuming ‘discuss’ should have been ‘disgust’ - but I maybe misreading this entirely)
I wish. I have severe apnea trying my best using this machine 😢
Stay focused. I have been on a machine for 24 days now. Aside from just getting used to the machine, there is a giant difference in my energy and focus.
@@alangates5941I hope in a good way.
I hate taking medicine but I really don’t want to be chained to a machine for life.
It's a pill for weight-loss.
Hi, it's not a pill for weight loss. There is a different pill that is doing studies with sleep apnea and will be available in the future as well. Likely sooner than this medication.
@@peterg2yt hardly. Since OSA seems largely a problem of muscular laxity, I'm having trouble seeing where muscle relaxants will be a solution, but this wouldn’t be the first time ‘obvious’ isn’t correct
@@kimberlyhutchisonmdfaasm1801 what is the name of that pill? and you said that will strengthen the muscle to not relax and block airway ?
