What do you know about zaleplon  ?

Zaleplon Tablet is a sedative-hypnotic medication primarily used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Here are some key points about it:

1. Mechanism of Action: Zaleplon Tablet works by modulating the GABA-A receptor, enhancing the effects of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This leads to a calming effect on the brain, helping to induce sleep.
2. Side Effects: Common side effects can include dizziness, daytime drowsiness, headache, and gastrointestinal issues. More serious side effects, though less common, may involve allergic reactions or complex sleep behaviors (e.g., sleepwalking).
3. Interactions: Zaleplon Tablet can interact with other medications, especially central nervous system depressants like alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids, which can increase the risk of respiratory depression and sedation.
