Oxybate calcium

Description:

Oxybate calcium, with the CAS number 82316-97-0, is a chemical compound that serves primarily as a pharmaceutical agent. It is a calcium salt of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), which is a naturally occurring neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Oxybate calcium is characterized by its ability to act as a central nervous system depressant, and it is often used in the treatment of conditions such as narcolepsy, particularly for managing cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness. The compound is typically administered in a liquid form and is known for its sedative effects, promoting deep sleep and reducing nighttime awakenings. Its pharmacological profile includes rapid absorption and a relatively short half-life, necessitating multiple doses for therapeutic efficacy. Additionally, oxybate calcium is subject to strict regulatory controls due to its potential for abuse and dependence, given its similarity to other controlled substances. Safety and efficacy are monitored closely in clinical settings, and it is important for patients to use this medication under medical supervision.
