Xyrem is a central nervous system (CNS) drug used to treat narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden episodes of sleep. Xyrem is a brand name for sodium oxybate, a form of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB). It is a sedative-hypnotic drug that works by increasing the amount of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps to reduce the symptoms of narcolepsy. Xyrem is a Schedule III controlled substance and is only available through a restricted distribution program.
Xyrem is manufactured by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company based in Ireland. Other companies in the Xyrem market include Teva Pharmaceuticals, which markets a generic version of the drug, and Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, which markets a brand-name version of the drug.
