A recently granted patent (US12064411B1) outlines a method aimed at reducing the risk of insomnia in infants who are breastfed by mothers treated with solriamfetol, a medication commonly used to address excessive daytime sleepiness. The method involves administering solriamfetol to the mother at a daily dose of approximately 150 mg or 75 mg, depending on the claim, while ensuring that the infant receives a daily dose of solriamfetol of about 0.3 mg or 0.15 mg, respectively. Crucially, the infant is fed breast milk at least five hours after the mother has taken the medication, which is intended to minimize the potential for insomnia in the infant.

The patent specifies that the method is applicable to mothers who are within 1 day to 24 months postpartum, with a particular focus on those aged between 18 and 50 years. It also encompasses various conditions for which the mother may be receiving solriamfetol treatment, including narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and cognitive impairments. The claims further assert that the method can effectively prevent insomnia in the infant, thereby providing a framework for safe breastfeeding practices for mothers undergoing treatment with solriamfetol.
