> It's a new drug in the U.S. tho - isn't it? I can't find anything on Imovane in my med book . Anyway, it's the first sleep aid to allow for chronic use - up to 6 months or longer. I thought I read it's supposed to be 6 times more potent than Ambien? I hope it works for me - I hate being on an antipsychotic for insomnia.
Apologies, mate. I thought zopiclone was available in the US. You are correct, this would be a new med in the US.
BTW, the patent thing would still be true. Drug companies patent a new drug everywhere, even if it's not approved for use. That still keeps other companies from marketing it.
