Not in the United States. Zopiclone is a sedative (a drug that makes you sleepy), but it’s banned in the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that zopiclone showed limited effectiveness. The FDA also determined that the drug had high rates of side effects. These side effects included greatly reducing how well a person can move, think, react, and drive.
Eszopiclone (Lunesta) is a similar drug to zopiclone. Eszopiclone is FDA-approved in the U.S. to treat insomnia in adults and may be taken as an alternative to Dayvigo.
If you have questions about other insomnia treatments and how they compare with Dayvigo, talk with your doctor.
