Description
Uses of Medicine:
Zaleplon 10 mg, supplied generically under the brand Zonesta is a sedative-hypnotic (sleep) medicine. Specifically, it is prescribed for short-term use to address difficulty falling asleep, a common symptom of insomnia. However, it’s important to note that Zaleplon only helps with falling asleep and does not assist with other insomnia symptoms like waking up too early or frequently during the night. This therapeutic drug is intended for adult use only and is not recommended for children.
Dosage & Side Effects:
The recommended dosage of Zaleplon depends on individual needs and the severity of insomnia. For adults, the usual starting dose is 10 mg taken right before bedtime. It should only be taken when you can get a full night of sleep (4 hours or more). In some cases, a lower dose of 5 mg may be recommended, especially for older adults or those with liver problems. It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions and not exceed the prescribed dosage to avoid side effects.
The most common side effects of Zaleplon 10 mg Capsule are drowsiness, light-headedness, dizziness, difficulty with coordination, and “pins and needles” feeling on your skin.
