Sopivam

Sopivam is a brand name for the drug eszopiclone, a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic medication used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. It is available in the form of tablets and is typically taken orally. Sopivam works by enhancing the effects of the neurotransmitter GABA, which helps to promote sleep. It is often prescribed for individuals who have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, and it is generally considered to have a shorter duration of action compared to other sleep aids. Sopivam is not recommended for long-term use due to the risk of dependence and tolerance. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of use as directed by a healthcare professional to minimize the risk of side effects and dependence. Common side effects of sopivam may include dizziness, headache, and daytime sleepiness. Serious side effects are rare but can include seizures, hallucinations, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors. If any of these serious side effects occur, medical attention should be sought immediately. Sopivam should be used with caution in individuals with a history of substance abuse or dependence, as well as in those with certain medical conditions such as liver or kidney disease. It is also important to inform healthcare providers about any other medications being taken, as sopivam may interact with certain drugs. Sopivam is not recommended for use in children or adolescents under the age of 18, as its safety and efficacy in this population have not been established. As with any medication, the benefits of sopivam should be weighed against the potential risks, and it should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
