Blue Zopiclone is a sedative-hypnotic medication that treats insomnia by acting on the central nervous system (CNS) to promote sleep.
Mechanism of Action:
Enhances GABA Activity:
Zopiclone works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that calms brain activity.
This results in reduced anxiety, relaxation, and drowsiness, helping you fall asleep faster.
Promotes Deeper Sleep:
It decreases sleep latency (time taken to fall asleep).
Increases total sleep duration and improves sleep quality.
Short Half-Life (~5 Hours):
Helps with sleep initiation without causing significant next-day drowsiness.
Suitable for short-term use (usually 7–14 days) to prevent dependence.
Key Benefits of Zopiclone:
✅ Faster sleep onset (reduces time to fall asleep)✅ Improved sleep maintenance (fewer nighttime awakenings)✅ Enhanced sleep quality (promotes deeper, more restful sleep)
Important Considerations:
Should not be taken with alcohol (increases sedation risk).
May cause dependence if used long-term.
Common side effects: metallic taste, dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness.
