This non-BZD hypnotic, cyciopyrroione, is indicated for short-term management of insomnia. Zopiclone has a BZD-like profile, a short half-life of 3.5 to 6.5 hours, no active metabolites, minimal rebound effects, and less abuse potential than BZDs. The usual therapeutic dose is oral 7.5 mg administered 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime.
