DIRECT ANSWER

Lynkuet is taken once daily at bedtime at a fixed labeled dose — there is no titration. Because it can cause sleepiness and next-day impairment, bedtime dosing is required and you should not drive until you know how it affects you. Liver tests are checked before starting and again at month 3. Strong CYP3A inhibitors and some other medicines interact with it.
