Zopiclone 7.5mg Tablet Bulk Supply: Indian Exporter Ernest Impex (USA)

1. Product Overview and Composition

Zopiclone 7.5 mg belongs to the cyclopyrrolone class of medicines, commonly referred to as "Z-drugs." It is specifically formulated to provide a potent sedative effect that assists patients in achieving a natural sleep cycle without the heavy "hangover" effect associated with older sedatives.

• Active Ingredient: Zopiclone (7.5 mg per tablet).

• Form: Oral Tablet.

• Classification: Sedative-Hypnotic (Non-Benzodiazepine).

2. Therapeutic Indications

Zopiclone 7.5 mg is indicated for the short-term treatment of severe sleep disturbances, including

• Sleep Onset Insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep at the start of the night.

• Sleep Maintenance Insomnia: Frequent or prolonged nocturnal awakenings.

• Early Morning Awakening: Waking up hours before the desired time and being unable to return to sleep.

• Situational Insomnia: Sleep loss due to acute stress, grief, or major lifestyle changes.

3. Mechanism of Action (How It Works)

Zopiclone acts as an agonist at the GABA-A receptor complex. It enhances the activity of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. By binding to these receptors, Zopiclone promotes muscle relaxation, reduces anxiety, and induces a sedative state that facilitates a rapid transition into deep sleep.

4. Dosage and Administration

• Standard Dosage: 7.5 mg (one tablet) taken immediately before retiring to bed.

• Elderly or Hepatic Impairment: A lower starting dose (3.75 mg) is often recommended to minimize risks of next-day impairment.

• Duration: Treatment should usually not exceed 2 to 4 weeks to prevent the risk of pharmacological dependence or tolerance.

• Important Safety Note: Patients must ensure they have at least 7–8 hours of uninterrupted sleep time after taking the dose.

5. Safety Profile & Precautions

• Common Side Effects: A mild metallic or bitter taste in the mouth, dry mouth, and daytime drowsiness.

• Precautions: Avoid concurrent use of alcohol, as it significantly potentiates the sedative effect. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until your reaction to the medication is fully understood.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture, at temperatures below 25°C.
