Zopix, Zopiclone Tablets 7.5mg are a prescription medication used to treat short-term insomnia. Each tablet contains 7.5mg of zopiclone, a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic agent that helps initiate and maintain sleep by enhancing the activity of GABA, a calming neurotransmitter in the brain. This medication is effective in reducing the time it takes to fall asleep, minimizing nighttime awakenings, and improving overall sleep quality.
The recommended dose for adults is one 7.5mg tablet taken orally just before bedtime. For elderly patients or those with liver or kidney impairments, a lower dose of 3.75mg may be prescribed to reduce the risk of side effects. It’s important to swallow the tablet whole with water and not to exceed the prescribed dose. Zopiclone should be used for the shortest duration possible, typically not exceeding four weeks, to minimize the risk of dependence.
Common side effects may include a metallic or bitter taste, dry mouth, drowsiness, and dizziness. Patients are advised to avoid alcohol and refrain from driving or operating heavy machinery until they know how the medication affects them. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting or discontinuing the use of Zopiclone.
Zopiclone Tablets 7.5mg are available at Pharma Outlet in strips of 10 tablets for £9.00.
