THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Short-term treatment of insomnia in adults (7-14 days).
4.2
DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Dose
Use the lowest effective dose for short term treatment (7-14 days).
Extension beyond the maximum
treatment period should not take place without re-evaluation of the
patient’s status, since the risk of
abuse and dependence increases with the duration of treatment.
Zopiclone Actavis should be taken in a single intake and not be
readministered during the same night.
_Adults _
7.5 mg by oral administration shortly before retiring. This dose
should not be exceeded. Extension
beyond the maximum treatment period should not take place without
re-evaluation of the patient’s
status, since the risk of abuse and dependence increases with the
duration of the treatment. Depending
on clinical response, the dose may be lowered to 3.75 mg.
Zopiclone is for short term treatment (7-14 days). See section 4.4
Special warnings and precautions
for use – Dependence for advice of gradual dose decrease after
prolonged use.
SPECIAL POPULATIONS
_Elderly Patients _
In the elderly and/or debilitated patient an initial dose of 3.75 mg
is recommended. The dose may be
increased to a maximum of 7.5 mg if the starting dose does not offer
adequate therapeutic effect, but
in clinical trials, 25% of elderly patients treated with zopiclone
experienced CNS side-effects at the
higher dose. Zopiclone should be used with caution in these patients.
