Zopiclone 7.5mg is a medication commonly used for the short-term treatment of insomnia and other sleep disorders. Belonging to a class of drugs known as non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, Zopiclone works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain to promote relaxation and facilitate the onset and maintenance of sleep. This medication helps individuals fall asleep faster, reduces nighttime awakenings, and improves overall sleep quality, leading to better rest and increased daytime alertness.
Directions for Use:
- Dosage: The typical adult dose is 7.5mg (1 tablet) taken orally just before bedtime.
- Administration: Take the tablet whole with a full glass of water. It should be taken when you are able to have a full night’s sleep (7-8 hours) to minimize the risk of next-day drowsiness.
- Duration: Zopiclone is intended for short-term use, generally not exceeding 2 to 4 weeks, to prevent dependency and tolerance. Prolonged use should only occur under strict medical supervision.
- Missed Dose: If you forget to take a dose, do not take it if it is close to the time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
Precautions and Warnings:
- Medical History: Do not take if you have any existing medical conditions, especially liver or kidney problems, respiratory issues, mental health disorders, or history of substance abuse except with approval from a doctor.
- Alcohol and Other Substances: Avoid consuming alcohol or using other central nervous system depressants while taking Zopiclone, as this can enhance sedative effects and increase the risk of adverse reactions.
- Operating Machinery: Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking Zopiclone, as it may cause drowsiness, dizziness, and impair coordination and judgment.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using this medication.
