Zopiclone is a generic non-benzodiazepine hypnotic agent used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. The “10mg” indicates the strength of zopiclone in each tablet.
Benefits: Effective for the short-term management of insomnia, helping individuals to fall asleep more quickly, reduce night time awakenings, and increase total sleep time. It works by binding to receptors in the brain that promote sleep.
Dosage: The usual adult dose is 7.5 mg taken once at bedtime. A 10 mg dose may be used in some cases but carries a higher risk of next-day impairment. The lowest effective dose should be used, and treatment duration is typically limited to a few weeks.
Precautions: Can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and impaired coordination that may persist into the next day; caution with activities requiring alertness. Combining with alcohol significantly increases sedative effects. Risk of dependence exists with prolonged use. May cause a bitter or metallic taste in the mouth.
