What is Zopiclone?
Zopiclone belongs to a class of drugs known as sedative-hypnotics. It is specifically prescribed to treat short-term sleep issues. The 7.5 mg dose is a standard adult dose, often effective in addressing moderate to severe insomnia. Each tablet contains Zopiclone as its active ingredient, which works by influencing brain chemicals that regulate sleep.
How Does It Work?
Zopiclone acts on the brain’s GABA receptors, a group of chemicals that play a critical role in calming the brain and central nervous system. By enhancing the action of GABA, Zopiclone induces a soothing effect that helps you fall asleep faster and prevents frequent awakenings during the night. This makes it a highly effective solution for short-term insomnia management.
Benefits
The primary benefit of Zopiclone is its ability to restore a healthy sleep cycle. It is effective in:
- Helping you fall asleep within 30 minutes of taking the tablet.
- Reducing the number of nighttime awakenings.
- Enhancing the overall quality of sleep.
- Ensuring a restful sleep without lingering drowsiness the next day when taken correctly.
- It is typically prescribed for short-term use (usually 2 to 4 weeks) to avoid potential dependency.
How to Take
Zopiclone is usually taken just before bedtime, with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed. To avoid drowsiness or grogginess the next day, it’s essential only to take it when you have at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep ahead. Always follow your healthcare provider’s dosage recommendations, and do not increase or decrease the dose on your own.
Who Should Not Take
While Zopiclone is effective for many, it’s not suitable for everyone. Avoid taking Zopiclone if:
- You have severe liver or kidney problems.
- You suffer from sleep apnea or other serious respiratory disorders.
- You are under 18 years old.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding (unless specifically directed by a doctor).
Potential Side Effects
Like all medications, Zopiclone comes with potential side effects. Common ones include:
- Dry mouth
- Bitter taste in the mouth
- Daytime drowsiness
- Dizziness
Less common but more severe side effects include mood changes, confusion, and memory problems. If you experience these, you must speak to your doctor immediately.
Precautions Before Taking
Before starting Zopiclone, inform your doctor of any medical history, particularly regarding mental health issues, liver or kidney disease, or a history of substance abuse. Zopiclone should not be mixed with alcohol or recreational drugs, as the combination can lead to dangerous side effects such as extreme drowsiness, respiratory depression, or even coma.
Interactions with Other Medications
Zopiclone can interact with various medications, including:
- Anti-anxiety medications
- Antidepressants
- Narcotic pain relievers
- Alcohol

FAQs
What should I do if I experience unusual side effects?
Contact your healthcare provider immediately for advice if you notice any unusual or severe side effects.
Can Zopiclone Cause Dependence?
Yes, Zopiclone has the potential to cause dependence if used for longer than the recommended period. As with many sleep medications, prolonged use can lead to tolerance, meaning the body requires a higher dose to achieve the same effects. This can lead to dependency and withdrawal symptoms when stopping the medication.
How Long Does Zopiclone Stay in Your System?
Zopiclone has a half-life of about 5 to 7 hours, meaning it takes this amount of time for half of the drug to be eliminated from your body. Most people get the medication out of their system within 24 hours. However, traces of Zopiclone can be detected in urine for up to 48 hours and in the blood for 10 to 12 hours.
How long does it take to deliver Zopiclone to the US?
International shipping of Zopiclone to the US takes approximately 14 to 25 days. For domestic shipping, the estimated delivery time is up to 10 days.
