As your doctor directs, take this medication by mouth, generally shortly before bed. If taken with or directly after a high-fat or heavy meal, it may not work as well. Your medical condition, age, liver function, any extra drugs you may be taking, and treatment response all influence the dosage. If you use more of this drug than is recommended, you are more likely to experience side effects. The recommended starting dose is 1 mg before going to bed. This dose minimizes the likelihood of having problems doing activities requiring alertness the following day (such as driving or operating machinery) safely. Also, even if you assume you are fully awake the next day, you may not be. If given 3 milligrams of eszopiclone, avoid undertaking duties that require alertness the next day. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
