Zopiclone 10mg

Zopiclone 10 mg – Higher-Strength Tablet for Insomnia

Zopiclone 10 mg is a higher-strength tablet of the sleep medicine Zopiclone, used for the short-term treatment of insomnia in adults. It helps people who have trouble falling asleep, wake often during the night, or wake too early. Zopiclone Sydney supplies Zopiclone 10 mg tablets with discreet, tracked delivery across Australia.

Please note: the standard recommended adult dose of Zopiclone in Australia is 7.5 mg, and 10 mg is not an approved strength there. Only take 10 mg if a doctor has specifically told you to. Most people should start with Zopiclone 7.5 mg.

What is Zopiclone?

Zopiclone belongs to a group of medicines called non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, often called “Z-drugs”. It works on GABA receptors in the brain, the same calming system that benzodiazepines act on, which reduces brain activity and makes it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

• Active ingredient: Zopiclone
• Strength: 10 mg per tablet
• Form: Film-coated oral tablet
• Drug class: Non-benzodiazepine hypnotic (cyclopyrrolone)
• Onset: Usually within 30–60 minutes
• Half-life: About 5 hours (longer in older adults)

How to Take Zopiclone 7.5 mg

• Take one tablet only as prescribed, immediately before going to bed. The standard adult dose is 7.5 mg, so 10 mg should only be used on a doctor’s advice.
• Not suitable for older adults, or for people with liver, kidney or breathing problems. They usually need a lower dose such as 3.75 mg.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not take more than one dose in a night.
• Only take it when you can allow 7–8 hours of sleep before you need to be active again.
• Treatment is normally short term – from a few days up to 2–4 weeks. Longer use increases the risk of tolerance and dependence.

Possible Side Effects

Most people tolerate Zopiclone well. Common side effects include:

• A bitter or metallic taste in the mouth
• Dry mouth
• Drowsiness or reduced alertness the next morning, which is more likely at higher doses
• Dizziness or headache

Rarely, people may experience memory problems, confusion, unusual behaviour, or “sleep-walking” type activity (such as sleep-driving or eating while not fully awake). Stop taking Zopiclone and speak to a doctor if this happens.

Important Safety Information

• Do not drink alcohol while taking Zopiclone – it greatly increases sedation and the risk of dangerous breathing problems.
• Do not combine with opioids, benzodiazepines or other sedating medicines unless your doctor has approved it.
• Do not drive or operate machinery the next day until you know you are fully alert.
• Not suitable for people with severe liver disease, severe sleep apnoea, myasthenia gravis or serious breathing problems.
• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for people under 18.
• Do not stop suddenly after regular use – reduce the dose gradually with medical advice to avoid rebound insomnia and withdrawal symptoms.

In Australia, Zopiclone is a prescription-only (Schedule 4) medicine. Always use it as directed by your doctor and read the Consumer Medicine Information leaflet.
