LUNESTA is a prescription sleep aid that in clinical trials helped the majority of people with insomnia fall asleep and stay asleep, so they could wake up feeling rested.* There are many good reasons for you and your healthcare professional to consider LUNESTA.
The #1 prescribed branded sleep aid.‡
Over 31 million prescriptions have been written for LUNESTA to help patients treat their insomnia — a medical condition in which lack of sleep has a negative impact on the next day. Only LUNESTA is LUNESTA. There is no generic form available.
One of the most studied medications for insomnia.
In more than 30 studies involving thousands of people, LUNESTA has been shown to be effective in many different types of insomnia patients.
LUNESTA is approved to help you fall asleep and stay asleep.*
Most other sleep aids are approved to either help you fall asleep or stay asleep, not both.
LUNESTA can be taken for any length of time.
There is no specific time frame for taking LUNESTA. You can take it for as long or short as your healthcare professional agrees it is necessary.
For most people, LUNESTA doesn't lose its effectiveness.
When you find a LUNESTA dose that works for you, it should continue to keep working over time.
What happens when a patient stops taking LUNESTA.
Some people get "rebound insomnia" when they stop taking a sleeping aid. Their sleep issues become worse than they were before they started the medication. Most people who stopped taking LUNESTA did not have this problem.
