Use of melatonin agonist tasimelteon in treating circadian rhythms
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11850229B2) outlines a method for administering tasimelteon to patients, particularly those suffering from Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder. The method involves determining if the patient is being treated with a beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist. If not, the patient is to be administered 20 mg of tasimelteon once daily before bedtime. However, if the patient is on beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist treatment, this must be discontinued before administering tasimelteon.
Furthermore, the patent specifies that the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist can be selected from a group including alprenolol, altenolol, carvedilol, metoprolol, and propanolol. This targeted approach aims to optimize the effectiveness of tasimelteon in regulating the sleep-wake cycle in patients with Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder. By tailoring the administration of tasimelteon based on the patient's existing treatment regimen, the method outlined in the patent seeks to enhance the therapeutic outcomes for individuals struggling with this circadian rhythm disorder.
