Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

 OSA is characterized by repeated narrowing or collapse of the upper airway during sleep. It is the most common sleep disordered breathing seen among general population and contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. Recent lifestyle modifications have made Indian population more prone to this chronic disorder. Epidemiological studies show an increase in OSA prevalence among Indian population. OSA is associated with various co-morbid conditions which can be easily prevented by early diagnosis for which awareness should be brought among practicing Indian physicians and general population.
