Imovane (zopiclone) is a sleep medication that helps with short-term insomnia, including trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up too early. It acts on the GABA-A receptor complex, producing sedative, anxiolytic, and muscle-relaxant effects.

Zopiclone binds to the benzodiazepine-binding site of the GABA-A receptor, enhancing the inhibitory effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. This leads to increased neuronal hyperpolarization, resulting in sedation and facilitation of sleep.

Compared to classical benzodiazepines, zopiclone demonstrates a rapid onset of action and intermediate elimination half-life, making it suitable for both sleep initiation and sleep maintenance.
