Can You Take Zolpidem and Zopiclone Together?

If you are struggling from nighttime awakening or find it difficult to fall asleep in the first place, doctors may suggest you to use prescription sleeping pills. In the UK, there are two main types of such medicines; benzodiazepines and Z-drugs. Some people prefer Z-drugs because they have less risks of side effects compared to benzodiazepines. Zolpidem and Zopiclone are the most commonly prescribed options among Z-drugs. Both are effective enough for managing insomnia.

How Do These Z-Drugs Work?

Both fall under the Z-drugs category but they have some differences; zolpidem works by targeting the α1 subunit of the GABA-A receptor, while zopiclone works by binding to both α1 and α2 subunits. Both are fast acting medicines and offer you peaceful sleep of several hours.
