What is Hetlioz?

Hetlioz is a prescription medication given to adults to treat non-24-hour sleep-wake disorders (non-24) and is the first and the only FDA approved treatment for non-24. Hetlioz helps treat non-24 by mirroring the effects of melatonin. This can help improve your sleeping at night and reduce daytime sleepiness. It comes as a 20 mg capsule that is usually taken once a day before bed. Always take Hetlioz as directed by your physician.

Non-24 is a circadian rhythm sleep disorder. Your circadian rhythm is a set of natural processes in your body that mirror the 24-hour day. They wake you in the morning and increase your alertness, and make you feel tired and sleepy at night. Think of your circadian rhythm as your 24-hour body clock. Your circadian rhythm also controls the timing of other processes, like metabolism, digestion, hormone secretion, changes in body temperature, and periods of peak alertness. 

Non-24 happens when your circadian rhythm drifts out of cycle with the 24-hour day. Your circadian rhythm could become longer than 24 hours, or shorter. This throws out the natural timings of your body, it can make it very difficult to sleep and wake at usual times, and it disrupts the other processes your circadian rhythm regulates. This disruption can lead to issues like daytime sleeping, insomnia, sleep deprivation, fatigue, feelings of depression, nausea, headaches, and weight gain. It can cause cognitive problems like difficulties concentrating and confusion. Non-24 can cause significant disruption to your life. Non-24 is most common amongst blind people, with as many as 70% of the totally blind experiencing it. Non-24 can occur amongst sighted people too but is much less common.

Your circadian rhythm is a set of internal processes, but they interact with the world around you too. It’s thought that non-24 is caused by problems with how your body reacts to signals from the outside world. In the morning, sunlight causes your brain to produce a hormone called serotonin that helps you wake up. As it gets darker in the evening, serotonin is converted into another hormone called melatonin, which helps you fall asleep.

In sighted people, non-24 could be caused by problems with producing serotonin and melatonin in reaction to light changes, or by not reacting sensitively enough to light changes. In blind people, non-24 could be caused by not being able to see sunlight and changes in light levels. People with partial sight, who can perceive light levels are less likely to have non-24.

Hetlioz active ingredients

The active ingredient in Hetlioz is called tasimelteon. It’s thought to help with non-24 by stimulating your brain in the same way that melatonin does. When you take Hetlioz, tasimelteon molecules attach themselves to areas on the outside of cells in your brain called melatonin receptors. This triggers a set of processes that melatonin usually triggers, making you want to sleep. This can make it easier to fall asleep at night, as well as improving the quality of your sleep, and reducing daytime sleepiness. 

Hetlioz side effects & Hetlioz drug interactions

All medications can have side effects. Not everyone will experience side effects though, or the same ones. The most common side effects caused by Hetlioz include:

• Headaches
• Abnormal dreams and nightmares
• An increase in upper respiratory infections
• An increase in urinary tract infections
• An increase in the production of liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase enzyme)

You can read more about Hetlioz side effects in the leaflet that comes with your medication. Talk to your physician if you have concerns about any side effects.

Hetlioz can interact with other medications, including: 

• Strong CYP1A2 inhibitors, like ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, or fluvoxamine
• Strong CYP3A4 inducers, like phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampicin, or St. John’s Wort

If you take these medications alongside Hetlioz it can change how it and the other medications work and can make some side effects more likely.
