Information About Zopiclone

Zopiclone is a cyclopyrrolone hypnotic used to treat short-term insomnia in Singapore. Available as a 3.75mg–7.5mg oral tablet taken immediately before bedtime, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. A metallic or bitter taste is a characteristic and common side effect — use should be limited to two to four weeks maximum as tolerance and dependence develop rapidly, requiring gradual dose tapering rather than abrupt discontinuation upon cessation.
