Zopisign 7.5mg (Zopiclone): UK Information Guide

Introduction

Zopisign 7.5mg is a generic medicine containing zopiclone 7.5 mg. Zopiclone is a short-acting hypnotic (“Z-drug”) used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. In the UK it is prescription-only and intended only for brief courses because of the risk of tolerance and dependence. This article is general information only — not personal medical advice. Always speak to a UK doctor or pharmacist before use and read the patient information leaflet.

What Is Zopisign 7.5mg?

Zopisign 7.5mg contains zopiclone, which helps people fall asleep and stay asleep for a short period. Related strength: Zopisign 10mg. It is not a long-term solution for chronic insomnia and does not treat the underlying causes of poor sleep.

Insomnia Symptoms and Why Short-Term Treatment May Be Needed

Insomnia means regular difficulty with sleep that affects how you feel or function during the day. Common features include:

• Trouble falling asleep despite feeling tired
• Waking frequently during the night or lying awake for long periods
• Waking very early and being unable to return to sleep
• Feeling unrefreshed, irritable, or unable to concentrate the next day
• Sleep problems lasting more than a few nights and affecting work or mood

First-line care is sleep hygiene (regular schedule, dark quiet bedroom, limiting caffeine/alcohol/screens) and addressing causes such as stress, pain or mood. A short course of zopiclone may be considered when insomnia is severe and temporary relief is appropriate under medical advice — typically for a few days up to about 2–4 weeks, not months.

How Zopiclone Works

Zopiclone enhances the effect of GABA, the brain’s main calming neurotransmitter, at the GABA-A receptor complex. This produces sedation and promotes sleep. Effects can persist into the next day as residual drowsiness or reduced alertness. Alcohol and other sedatives greatly increase risk.

Important Safety Information

1. Short-term only — usually a few days to 2–4 weeks maximum. Longer use risks tolerance, dependence and withdrawal.
2. Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel drowsy the next day.
3. Never combine with alcohol, opioids, or other sedatives/sleeping tablets.
4. Do not stop a longer course abruptly without advice — a gradual reduction may be needed.
5. Tell your doctor about liver problems, breathing disorders (including sleep apnoea), depression, myasthenia gravis, or a history of substance misuse.
6. Older adults are more sensitive to residual effects and falls risk.

Possible Side Effects

Common effects include metallic or bitter taste, dry mouth, daytime drowsiness, dizziness and headache. Less common: confusion, memory problems, nightmares, or paradoxical restlessness. Seek urgent help for severe allergic reaction, severe breathing difficulty, or complex sleep behaviours (e.g. sleep-driving) if they occur.

Medicine Interactions

Alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, other hypnotics, some antidepressants and antihistamines increase sedation. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may raise zopiclone levels. Always declare all medicines and alcohol use to your clinician.
