Overview: Zopiclone is a medication primarily used to treat insomnia (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep). It belongs to the class of drugs known as sedative-hypnotics. Zopiclone works by affecting certain chemicals in the brain that may be unbalanced in people with sleep problems, helping to induce sleep and improve sleep quality.
Composition: Each tablet of Zopiclone contains zopiclone as the active ingredient. Additional ingredients may include lactose, calcium hydrogen phosphate, and magnesium stearate.
Usage: Zopiclone is usually taken orally, just before bedtime, with a full glass of water. It’s important to take Zopiclone only when you can devote a full night to sleep, as it may cause drowsiness and impair your ability to perform tasks that require mental alertness the following day.
Dosage: The usual starting dose of Zopiclone for adults is 7.5 mg once daily. Your doctor may adjust your dosage based on individual response and tolerance to the medication. Do not exceed the recommended dose to avoid the risk of overdose or dependence.
Precautions: Before using Zopiclone, inform your healthcare provider of any allergies to Zopiclone or any other medications. Use with caution in individuals with a history of substance abuse, respiratory depression, or liver disease. Avoid alcohol and other sedative medications while taking Zopiclone.
Storage: Store Zopiclone tablets in their original packaging at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Keep them out of reach of children and pets. Do not use Zopiclone tablets after the expiration date printed on the packaging.
