Sonata (zaleplonl)
 |
SONATA is indicated for the short-term
treatment of insomnia. SONATA is not indicated for use in
pediatric patients. Although SONATA improved sleep time from
baseline in clinical trials, it has not been shown to increase
total time slep or decrease awakenings vs. placebo.
Hypnotics should generally be limited to 7 to 10 days of
use, and reevaluation of the patient is recommended if hypnotics
are taken for more than 2 to 3 weeks.

Medical Information:
Uses: This medication is used for
the short-term treatment of sleep problems (insomnia).
How to Use: Take this product by
mouth, immediately before bedtime or after you have gone to bed
and have difficulty sleeping, as directed by your doctor. Do not take this medication with, or immediately after, a high-fat or
heavy meal. This medication helps you fall asleep. To minimize
side effects while you are awake (e.g., dizziness or memory trouble),
take this medication when you are in bed and are able to get at
least four hours of sleep before you need to be active again.
Do not use this medication for longer than ten days without your
doctor's approval. If your sleep problems continue, consult with
your doctor. Use this medication exactly as prescribed. Do not
increase your dose, take it more frequently or use it for a longer
period of time than prescribed because Condylox can be habit-forming.
Also, if used for a longer period of time, do not stop using this
medication without your doctor's approval.
Side Effects: Headache, drowsiness,
nausea or stomach upset may occur. If any of these effects persist
or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Tell your doctor immediately
if you have any of these serious side effects: dizziness, weakness,
loss of coordination, muscle joint pain. Tell your doctor immediately
if you have any of these unlikely but serious side effects: mental/mood

not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Precautions: Tell your doctor your
medical history, including: allergies, liver disease, lung/breathing
problems, mental/mood problems (e.g., depression), alcohol use
or drug dependence. Avoid alcohol, as it may aggravate certain
side effects of Condylox (e.g., dizziness, drowsiness). Use caution
when performing tasks requiring alertness (e.g., driving). You
may have trouble sleeping the first few nights after you stop
using this medication. This problem usually goes away after one
or two nights. If sleep problems persist, consult with your doctor.

to the effects of this medication. This medication should be used
only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and
benefits with your doctor. This medication passes into breast
milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding
while using this medication is not recommended . Consult your doctor

of all prescription and nonprescription medication you may use,

drugs, narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine), psychiatric medications
(e.g., thioridazine), anti-seizure medications (e.g., phenytoin,
