Sammanfattning

Inga könsrelaterade skillnader har observerats för zopiklon. I en studie sågs påverkad bilkörningsförmåga i en grupp kvinnor och män 3 timmar efter intag av zopiklon men inte av zolpidem. Till skillnad från zolpidem, har man dock inte visat på någon skillnad i trötthet/körförmåga mellan kvinnor och män. Zopiklon har längre halveringstid och därmed längre effekt än zolpidem.

Background

Pharmacokinetics and dosing
Zopiclone has a half-life of 3.5-6 h. No differences in zopiclone pharmacokinetics have been seen between men and women [3].The absorption of zopiclone is similar in men and women and no sex differentiation in dosing has been recommended by the pharmaceutical company [4].

Effects
No studies with a clinically relevant sex analysis regarding the effects of zopiclone have been found.

Adverse effects
In a study of driving capacity after medication with sleeping pills (9 men, 14 women) zopiclone 7.5 mg, but not zolpidem 10 mg, was found to increase the number of collisions in a driving simulator compared to placebo. No analysis based on patient’s sex was performed probably due to the low number of study participants [1]. Also another study showed that zopiclone 7.5 mg, but not zolpidem 3.5 mg (administered 3 hours before driving), impaired next-day driving, but with no differences between men and women [2].
However, pooled data from four placebo-controlled studies (in all 50 men, 51 women) on the effects of zopiclone 7.5 mg on driving performance showed......

No analysis based on patient’s sex was performed probably due to the low number of study participants [1]. Also another study showed that zopiclone 7.5 mg, but not zolpidem 3.5 mg (administered 3 hours before driving), impaired next-day driving, but with no differences between men and women [2]. However, pooled data from four placebo-controlled studies (in all 50 men, 51 women) on the effects of zopiclone 7.5 mg on driving performance showed no differences between men and women [5]. A review article concludes that no difference in driving performance the day after intake of zopiclone 7.5 mg could be observed between healthy men and women [6]. # Reproductive health issues Regarding teratogenic aspects, please consult Janusmed Drugs and Birth Defects (in Swedish, Janusmed fosterpåverkan). # Other information Two large register-based studies analyzing utilization of zopiclone in men and women (aged ≥75 years) in Sweden showed that men were more likely than women to dispense zopiclone [7, 8]. However, aggregated data from the Swedish Board of Health and Welfare shows that utilization of zopiclone has been higher among women than men (aged ≥ 75 years) in Sweden every year since 2006. A possible explanation to the different findings could be that the two studies focused on shorter time periods (3 and 4 months), while the aggregated data is based on one year data and the two Swedish studies were conducted only during the year 2005 [9]. In large register-studies from Denmark and Norway, women dispensed more prescriptions of zopiclone and zolpidem in the years 2004 and 2006, respectively [10, 11]. In a Canadian questionnaire study from 2003 (518 men, 941 women), no sex differences in prescribing patterns of zopiclone were observed [12].
