Description: Zopice (Zopiclone) is a prescription medication used for the short-term treatment of insomnia.

Zopiclone is typically prescribed when non-drug therapies have been insufficient for improving sleep quality.

• Each tablet contains 7.5 mg of Zopiclone.

Common side effects include:
• Dry mouth
• Bitter or metallic taste in the mouth
• Drowsiness
• Dizziness

Caution:
• Use should be avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding unless explicitly prescribed by a doctor.
• Zopiclone may cause physical and psychological dependence, particularly if used for prolonged periods or in higher doses than recommended. It is usually prescribed for short-term use (2-4 weeks).
• This medication can cause drowsiness or impair alertness the next day. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after taking Zopiclone.
• Alcohol can enhance the sedative effects of Zopiclone, leading to increased drowsiness and potential overdose risk. It should not be combined with other central nervous system depressants, including opioids or tranquilizers.
• Lower doses are often recommended for elderly patients to avoid excessive sedation and the risk of falls.
• Use with caution, as dosage adjustments may be required in patients with liver or kidney problems.
