About Zopicon Tablet

Zopicon Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called 'sedative-hypnotics' primarily used in the short-term treatment of insomnia. Insomnia is a disorder of sleep that causes difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep. It may be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) in nature due to various complications like stress, anxiety, and breathing problems.

Zopicon Tablet works by increasing GABA activity, which is a chemical messenger in the brain acting as a natural nerve-calming agent, thereby inducing sleep. Thus, Zopicon Tablet relaxes muscles, reduces anxiety, and helps to fall asleep.

Take Zopicon Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are suggested to take Zopicon Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. Some people may experience dizziness, diarrhea, drowsiness, headache, nausea, vomiting, nose or throat infections, tiredness, stomach pain, double vision, and back pain. Most of these side effects of Zopicon Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Zopicon Tablet or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you notice that the tablets' effect is not as well as at the beginning of the treatment, please consult a doctor as you might have developed tolerance to Zopicon Tablet and dose adjustment may be required. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Zopicon Tablet . If you have kidney, liver, or breathing problems, severe muscle weakness, sleep apnoea (a serious condition where breathing stops and repeatedly starts in sleep), and if you have a history of depression or mental illness, please inform your doctor before taking Zopicon Tablet .
