The drug is administered sublingually as a liquid using a syringe about 1 hour before bedtime. Each 0.5 mL dose contains 10 mg δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), 1 mg cannabinol (CBN), and 0.5 mg cannabidiol (CBD), corresponding to a 20:2:1 mg/mL ratio. One or two doses are typically taken per night.[1–4] WP

The pharmacokinetics of the formulation have been investigated and described in clinical studies.[4] WP
Pharmacodynamics
THC is a psychoactive cannabinoid acting as a CB₁ and CB₂ receptor partial agonist.
CBN is a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid that also acts as a CB₁ and CB₂ receptor partial agonist.
CBD does not act as an agonist at cannabinoid receptors but modulates the endocannabinoid system and other molecular targets.
THC/CBN/CBD does not significantly alter sleep architecture, aside from a near-significant 3.5% reduction in REM sleep duration.[2]
