Active Ingredient: Zaleplon

How does it work?
Zaleplon belongs to a new group of medicines that are used to help individuals who have difficulty falling asleep. It selectively binds to a particular part of a receptor in the brain called GABA receptors. This causes the release of a chemical called GABA (gamma amino butyric acid).

GABA is a major inhibitory chemical in the brain which is responsible for causing sleepiness and controlling anxiety and fits. By increasing GABA release, zaleplon therefore helps individuals to fall asleep, as well as decreasing anxiety and relaxing the muscles.

What is it used for?
Severe difficulties with falling asleep (insomnia)
