So far the only known methods of combating sleep apnea were lifestyle changes, CPAP machine or in worst-case scenario surgery. Sleep Apnea affects a lot of people and is characterized by loud snoring and difficulty in breathing. The most common form of SA is OSA or obstructive sleep apnea where the air passages collapse during sleep and obstruct regular breathing leaving the person gasping and choking for breath. Thus waking them in sleep and causing sleep disorders. So far using machines like Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP), which provides a continuous supply of air at a different pressure so as to keep the air passages from collapsing, has been the effective method of treatment. Now drugs like Remer on that are traditionally used as antidepressants have been shown to work in reducing the number of pauses in breathing or apneas for a patient.
The drug basically works in balancing the chemicals found in the brain, that are found to be in imbalance in people suffering from depression, namely nor epinephrine and seratonin. Seratonin is known to work by balancing the hormonal imbalance and thus alleviate depression and promote sleep. Studies have shown that the drug has benefited people with sleep apnea. While it is a known course of treatment for depression and has been approved by the food and drug administration for the use in treating depression it is yet to get an approval for the treatment of sleep apnea, meanwhile studies on this continue to progress with an increasing chance and hope for the development of drugs that can help combat sleep apnea and regulate the breathing of the patient at night
