Eszopiclone is a medication used in the treatment of insomnia. Evidence supports slight to moderate benefit up to six months.
This medication is a sedative, also called a hypnotic. It affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause sleep problems (insomnia).
Avoid taking eszopiclone within 1 hour after eating a high-fat or heavy meal. This will make it harder for your body to absorb the medication.
