Zopiclone is a prescription medication primarily used for the short-term management of severe insomnia. It belongs to a class of drugs known as nonbenzodiazepine sedative-hypnotics. Zopiclone works by interacting with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the brain, which helps to slow down activity and promote sleep.  Important Considerations and Usage:Common Side Effects: Some common side effects associated with zopiclone use include a metallic or bitter taste in the mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, a feeling of light-headedness, and dry mouth.

Alcohol Interaction: It is advised to avoid consuming alcohol while taking zopiclone.  Administration: It is typically recommended to take zopiclone immediately before going to bed. Duration of Treatment: Zopiclone is generally prescribed for short periods, often ranging from a few days to two weeks, due to the potential for developing tolerance and dependence.
