| The research also highlights widespread use of sleeping medications such as zolpidem and zaleplon during space flight. |
| The sleep-aid medications with potential risk of complex sleep-related behaviours include flurazepam, nitrazepam, temazepam, triazolam, zopiclone, zolpidem, and zaleplon. |
| Health Canada will continue to monitor the use of zaleplon to determine if there is any new evidence suggesting it should be scheduled as a controlled drug. |
| In 1993, zaleplon was the first pyrazolopyrimidine investigated for clinical use as a hypnotic. |
| The safe and effective use of zaleplon requires individualized dosage, instructions and close medical supervision. |
| Health Canada received one letter of objection to the proposed scheduling of zaleplon as a controlled drug. |
