In addition to the earlier onset of sleep, the data also shows maintenance of sleep throughout the night. Sublinox (OX22) also offers a more convenient way of administration compared to oral tablets since it does not need to be swallowed with water. The first evaluation will take about two months and FDA will thereafter decide if the file is accepted for final evaluation.
