How Eplon works

Eplon is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic. Along with sedative, it may also have anxiolytic (panic-reducing or antianxiety), muscle relaxant properties. It works by binding GABA-A/chloride ion channel receptor complex (receptor), thus relaxes the nerves and brain. This is how it helps you to fall asleep.

What if you forget to take Eplon?

If you miss a dose of Eplon, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.

Quick Tips

Your doctor has prescribed Eplon to help you fall asleep faster and sleep for longer.

It is best taken without food as a high-fat meal can reduce its absorption and effect.

Take it 30 to 45 minutes before bedtime and only when you have time to sleep for at least 7 hours.

It makes you feel dizzy next morning. Don't drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.

It does not affect total sleep time. However, it reduces sleep onset time and frequent awakening at night.

Never share your medication with any other person who also has a sleep problem.

Inform your doctor if your sleep doesn’t improve after 7 to 10 days of treatment.

Stop taking medication and inform your doctor If you experience sleep driving or memory loss.

Do not stop taking medication suddenly as it may lead to anxiety, mood changes, and restlessness.
