Summary
In a double-blind, parallel-group study of 135 patients with a mean age of 60 years, zopiclone 5 mg was compared with propiomazine 25 mg. The patients rated their sleep in a diary. There were statistically significant differences in favour of zopiclone for nine out of 13 variables measuring subjective sleep quality and quantity. Concerning side-effects, bad taste was reported more frequently in the zopiclone group and restless legs in the propiomazine group.
