Zopiclone is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic medication used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. It is effective in reducing sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep) and increasing total sleep time. Zopiclone is typically taken once a night, 30 minutes before bedtime.
Zopiclone is available in both generic and brand-name forms. The brand-name forms include Zolpidem and Ambien. Zopiclone is a prescription drug, so you will need to see a doctor to get a prescription.
