Fatal Intoxications with Zopiclone —A Cause for Concern?

ConclusionThis study demonstrates that the toxicity of zopiclone can be lethal both in combination with other substances and on its own. Most individuals dying in fatal zopiclone intoxications were prescribed zopiclone, which potentially indicates that a more restrictive prescribing rate could prevent future intoxication deaths, especially when caring for patients with an increased suicide risk.
