Lemborexant overdose presenting with mild sedation despite high plasma levels: A case report
This case suggests that massive lemborexant overdoses may not cause life-threatening toxicity even when plasma levels approach those reported in fatal cases. This case provides preliminary but clinically important data and highlights the need for further research to better characterize the clinical implications and management of lemborexant overdoses.
