Zopiclone
Zopiclone is a hypnotic sedative from the group of cyclopyrrolones, primarily used for the treatment of sleep disorders. It acts through positive allosteric modulation of the GABA-A receptor, leading to an enhanced inhibitory effect in the central nervous system. The substance has anxiolytic and muscle-relaxing properties, but carries a risk of dependence and withdrawal symptoms with prolonged use.
