**Description**
Zopiclone is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic agent used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. It helps reduce sleep latency, decreases nocturnal awakenings, and may improve overall sleep quality. It should be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. ([Medicines.org.uk][1])

**Indications**
Zopiclone is indicated for the short-term treatment of insomnia, including difficulty falling asleep, nocturnal awakening, and early morning awakening. Treatment is generally intended for brief use because the risk of tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal may increase with prolonged administration. ([Drugs.com][2])

**Dosage & Administration**
Zopiclone is administered orally shortly before bedtime. Standard prescribing information commonly lists **7.5 mg once daily** for adults, with a lower starting dose such as **3.75 mg** in elderly patients or in certain patients with hepatic, renal, or respiratory impairment. Dose and duration should be determined by the prescribing physician. ([Medicines.org.uk][1])

**Mechanism of Action**
Zopiclone acts on the central nervous system by enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission at the GABA receptor complex, producing sedative and hypnotic effects that promote sleep initiation and maintenance. ([Medicines.org.uk][3])

**Precautions**
Use with caution in elderly patients and in those with hepatic impairment, renal impairment, chronic respiratory insufficiency, substance-use history, or psychiatric illness. Zopiclone may cause next-day drowsiness, impaired alertness, dependence, withdrawal symptoms, and complex sleep-related behaviors. Alcohol and other CNS depressants may increase these risks. ([Drugs.com][2])

**Side Effects**
Common adverse effects may include bitter or metallic taste, dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, and gastrointestinal discomfort. More serious effects may include confusion, memory impairment, hallucinations, dependence, and unusual sleep behaviors. ([Drugs.com][2])

**Storage**
Store at room temperature in a dry place, protected from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children. Product should be stored according to the manufacturer’s labeling. ([Drugs.com][2])

One important note: the generic name is **zopiclone**, but **10 mg is higher than the standard adult dose commonly described in official product information**, which typically lists **7.5 mg** as the usual adult dose. You may want to verify the stated strength before using this in a formal pharmacy catalog. ([Medicines.org.uk][1])
