Zopisign 10 mg is a prescription medication primarily used to treat short-term insomnia. It contains zopiclone, a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic agent that works by slowing brain activity to help users fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Zopisign belongs to the “Z-drug” category and is often prescribed for people who struggle with frequent nighttime awakenings or difficulty falling asleep.

Uses

Zopisign 7.5 mg is mainly indicated for:

• Short-term treatment of insomnia

• Difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep

• Nighttime awakenings or early morning wakefulness

It is not intended for long-term use, as tolerance and dependence may develop with extended usage.

Dosage

The typical adult dose is one tablet (10 mg) taken orally, just before bedtime.

• Start with a lower dose (such as 3.75 or 7.5 mg) if you’re elderly or have liver or kidney issues.

• The tablet should be swallowed whole with water.

• Ensure at least 7–8 hours of sleep time after taking the dose to avoid next-day drowsiness.

Zopisign should only be taken when you’re ready to sleep. Avoid alcohol and other sedatives, as they can amplify the effects.

Side Effects

Common side effects include:

• Drowsiness

• Metallic or bitter taste

• Dry mouth

• Headache

• Dizziness

Less common but serious side effects may include memory problems, hallucinations, or sleepwalking. Long-term use can lead to tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms if stopped suddenly.

Conclusion

Zopisign 10 mg can be an effective solution for managing short-term insomnia when used responsibly. However, it should only be taken under a doctor’s supervision and for a limited period to minimize health risks.
