Medicine Description hypnor 7.5mg
Hypnor 7.5mg Tablets is a medication that contains the active ingredient zopiclone. It functions by interacting with GABA-A receptors in the brain, enhancing the effects of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This action promotes sedation and induces sleep by increasing inhibitory signals in the central nervous system, leading to reduced neuronal excitability. As a result, it facilitates the onset of sleep and improves sleep maintenance, making it effective for individuals experiencing sleep disturbances.
