Description

Zopishine 7.5mg Tablet is a prescription medication containing Zopiclone, a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic used to treat short-term insomnia. It works by calming the brain and helping users fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Zopishine is commonly prescribed for adults experiencing difficulty in falling asleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, or early morning wakefulness.

Each tablet contains 7.5mg of Zopiclone, offering effective sedation and improving sleep quality without significantly altering sleep architecture. It is usually taken just before bedtime and is intended for short-term use only (typically 2–4 weeks) to minimize the risk of dependence.

How Zopishine (Zopiclone) Works:

Zopishine contains Zopiclone, a “Z-drug” that acts on GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors in the brain.
GABA is a neurotransmitter that calms brain activity. By enhancing GABA’s effect, Zopiclone slows down brain activity, helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
