The Pharmacotherapy of Insomnia
Insomnia is a common medical condition treated with a variety of pharmacologic (Rx or OTC) and non-pharmacologic options. Yet, little data exist on long-term efficacy and safety on these treatment options. Join host Geoff Wall as he discusses a recent meta-analysis comparing treatments for insomnia.
The GameChanger
All treatments for insomnia, including melatonergic agonists, have poor tolerability. Eszopiclone may be the best tolerated and effective “Z” medication for treatment of insomnia.
