Mechanism of action
Zaleplon interacts with the GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complex, acting as a selective agonist to increase inhibitory activity in the brain and induce sedation.
Zaleplon is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic taken as a 10mg tablet for insomnia, particularly difficulty falling asleep. Pfizer is the originator company, and the medicine is also known as Sonata.
It acts at the GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complex as a selective agonist, raising inhibitory activity in the brain. Effects begin within 20 to 30 minutes and last 2 to 4 hours. Alertness may be reduced the following day. It should not be used by people with severe hepatic impairment, myasthenia gravis or respiratory failure, and alcohol and cimetidine interact with it. Complex sleep behaviours such as sleep-walking or sleep-driving, and anaphylaxis, need immediate medical attention.
