LUNESTA Is Not Right for Everyone

LUNESTA may contain ingredients that you're allergic to. So you should take a moment to look at the LUNESTA Medication Guide to see what's in LUNESTA. Before starting LUNESTA, you should tell your healthcare professional about all of your health conditions, including if you:

Take other medications that can make you sleepy
Have a history of depression, mental illness, or suicidal thoughts
Have a history of drug or alcohol abuse or addiction
Have liver disease
Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breast-feeding

Also, let your healthcare professional know about all medicines you are currently taking, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Medicines can interact with each other, sometimes causing serious side effects. Do not take LUNESTA with other medicines that can make you sleepy.

Talk with your healthcare professional

The longer your sleep trouble lasts, the less likely it is to go away on its own. In fact, it may even get worse. If you think you'd like to try LUNESTA, download your personal Sleep Discussion Guide, which will make it easier for you to talk about treatment options with your healthcare professional. Don't forget to bring along your Sleep Diary and special LUNESTA voucher.

Lunesta^® (eszopiclone) is a prescription sleep medicine used in adults for the treatment of a sleep problem called insomnia. Symptoms of insomnia include trouble falling asleep and waking up often during the night.

LUNESTA acts quickly, so take it right before bed, and only if you have 8 hours to devote to sleep. Until you know how you will react to LUNESTA, you should not drive or operate machinery. Call your healthcare professional if your insomnia worsens or is not better within 7 to 10 days. This may mean that there is another condition causing your sleep problems. Walking, eating, driving, or engaging in other activities while asleep without remembering it the next day have been reported. Other abnormal behaviors include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations, and confusion. In depressed patients, worsening of depression including risk of suicide may occur. These risks may increase if you drink alcohol. Severe allergic reactions such as swelling of the tongue and throat occur rarely and may be fatal. Call your healthcare professional if you experience these or any effects or reactions that concern you. LUNESTA, like most sleep medicines, carries some risk of dependency. Side effects may include unpleasant taste, headache, morning drowsiness, and dizziness. For more information, please see the LUNESTA Medication Guide.
