Wakix, whose generic name is pitolisant, is a medication used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness in adults with narcolepsy. It functions as a histamine-3 (H3) receptor antagonist/inverse agonist, which helps to increase wakefulness by enhancing histaminergic transmission in the brain. Unlike some other narcolepsy medications, Wakix is not classified as a controlled substance.
