Zusammenfassung
Durch die Arzneimittelgesetzgebung des Jahres 2003 sind Medikamente, die den Kriterien der evidenz-basierten Medizin nicht entsprechen, nicht mehr verfügbar. Einschränkungen der Indikation haben die medikamentösen Behandlungsmöglichkeiten der Narkolepsie zusätzlich stark reduziert. Zur Beseitigung der Unsicherheit, die bei der Verordnung nicht mehr indizierter Präparate bestehen, wird ein Überblick über die im In- und Ausland erhältlichen Medikamente zur Behandlung von Tagesschläfrigkeit und Kataplexien gegeben.
Summary
Due to pharmaceutical legislation some drugs that did not meet the criteria of evidence based medicine were taken from the market in 2003. Restriction of indication caused further reduction fo narcolepsy medication. This caused some confusion in the medical community concerning prescription. To resolve the uncertainties this article gives an overview of the presently available drugs for treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexies.
