Brand names: XYWAV
12.1 Mechanism of Action XYWAV is a CNS depressant. The exact mechanism of action of XYWAV in the treatment of narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia is unknown. XYWAV is a mixture of calcium oxybate, magnesium oxybate, potassium oxybate, and sodium oxybate (gamma-hydroxybutyrate). Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is an endogenous compound and metabolite of the neurotransmitter GABA. It is hypothesized that the therapeutic effects of XYWAV are mediated through GABA B actions during sleep at noradrenergic and dopaminergic neurons, as well as at thalamocortical neurons.
