Medicine Description sleepez 3mg
Sleepez 3 mg tablets is a medication that contains eszopiclone, which functions as a non-benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotic agent. It works by binding to specific sites on the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor complex in the brain, enhancing the inhibitory effects of GABA. This action results in increased neuronal inhibition, leading to sedation and the facilitation of sleep onset and maintenance. The unique structure of eszopiclone allows for a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, providing a rapid onset of action while minimizing residual effects the following day, which makes it suitable for treating sleep-onset and sleep-maintenance insomnia.
