Zopice (Zopiclone) 7.5mg Tablets x10

Zopice is a widely used brand of Zopiclone 7.5mg tablets in Nigeria, specifically formulated for the short-term clinical management of insomnia. It belongs to the class of medications known as non-benzodiazepine hypnotics (often called "Z-drugs"). Zopice is imported and marketed in Nigeria by Biogenerics Nigeria Limited.

Whether you have difficulty falling asleep (sleep-onset insomnia) or you find yourself waking up frequently during the night, Zopice can help improve the quality of your rest by providing a calming effect on the brain.

What is Zopice Used For?

Zopice is primarily indicated for patients suffering from:

• Sleep-onset insomnia: Difficulty getting to sleep.
• Nocturnal awakening: Waking up frequently in the middle of the night.
• Early morning awakening: Waking up too early and being unable to return to sleep.
• Situational insomnia: Short-term sleep disturbances caused by stress or environmental factors.

How Zopice Works

The active ingredient, Zopiclone, works by modulating GABA receptors in the central nervous system. By increasing the activity of GABA—a natural brain chemical that promotes relaxation—Zopice helps you fall asleep faster and reduces nighttime wakefulness.

Dosage and Administration

Zopice should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

• Standard Dose: The typical adult dose is one 7.5mg tablet taken immediately before bedtime.
• Elderly Patients: Doctors often start elderly patients on a lower dose (3.75mg) to minimize the risk of dizziness or falls.
• Duration: This medication is intended for short-term use, usually between 2 to 4 weeks. Long-term use is generally discouraged to prevent dependence.
• Important: Ensure you can get 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep after taking Zopice to avoid daytime drowsiness.

Safety and Side Effects

In Nigeria, Zopice is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). It is important to consult a healthcare professional before use.

• Common Side Effects: Some users report a bitter or metallic taste in the mouth, dry mouth, or feeling sleepy the following day.
• Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Zopiclone as it significantly increases the sedative effect.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: If you are pregnant or nursing, consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before taking any sleeping tablets.
