Although high-level clinical trials have not established a definitive link between additional cardiovascular risks and sodium in oxybates, a broader medical consensus emphasizes the importance of sodium reduction to mitigate cardiovascular morbidity. Here narcolepsy experts Dr Alon Avidan and Dr Phyllis Zee explore the therapeutic trade-offs between formulation-specific attributes, such as sodium content and dosing frequency, and the physiological benefits of restored sleep architecture with oxybates. Clinicians who manage narcolepsy will gain practical strategies for optimizing treatment with oxybates while monitoring for cardiovascular risks.
