Zaleplon is used to treat
insomnia (difficulty falling
asleep). Zaleplon does not help
you to stay asleep longer or
decrease the number of times that
you awaken during the night.
zaleplon is in a class of
medications called hypnotics. It
works by slowing activity in the
brain to allow sleep.

take by mouth. It is usually
taken as needed at bedtime or
after trying unsuccessfully to
fall asleep. Do not take zaleplon
with or shortly after a heavy,
high-fat meal. Zaleplon may not
work well if it is taken with
high fat foods. Follow the
directions on your prescription
label carefully, and ask your
doctor or pharmacist to explain
any part you do not understand.

directed.
