About Nigel Simmons
Expertise
I am happy to answer general questions on medicines and hospital care. If possible, please use approved / chemical names rather than brands which are not internationally recognised.
Like all health professionals I am bound by a duty of care which prevents me giving detailed information about medication or treatment of people other than the questioner.
I will endeavour to help wherever possible or point towards more appropriate advice. If however your question crosses too far into patient confidentiality, I hope you will understand why I cannot answer your question.
Consider.. would you want me to discuss your care with a friend or relative without your knowledge?
Experience
Registered as a UK pharmacist in 1982 and have worked in a number of hospital and health management posts around the UK. Formerly Chief Pharmacist for a 440 bed general hospital in Cambridgeshire.
Past/Present clients
Previously Sysop on CompuServe UK Professionals forum.

You are here: Experts > Health/Fitness > Pharmacology > Pharmacy > zopiclone(gen) 7.5mg
Expert: Nigel Simmons
Date: 1/17/2008
Subject: zopiclone(gen) 7.5mg
Question
I was prescribed zopiclone(gen) 7.5mg for sleeping on 1Oct05. Is it safe to take them today?
Answer
Jo
While all tablets are manaufactured with a margin of safety, it would not be as long as 13 years. At this stage it would be impossible to tell whether the tablets will be safe or effective.
Ultimately it has to be your choice whether you do take the zopiclone, but from a professional perspective I cannot recommend or endorse it.
I hope this helps.
