Zopicare is a prescription medication primarily used to treat insomnia. Its active ingredient is zopiclone, a hypnotic agent that helps individuals fall asleep and stay asleep through the night. Zopicare works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety.
Typically, it’s prescribed for short-term use, often for a few weeks, due to the risk of dependence. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, and a dry mouth. Patients are advised to avoid alcohol and other sedatives while using Zopicare to prevent excessive sedation. It’s crucial to follow the prescribed dosage to minimize risks. Discontinuation should be done gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Regular consultations with a healthcare provider are essential to monitor effectiveness and any potential side effects.
