FDA warned about sleeping pills!

Before you touch your nect sleeping pill, please take note of the following recent warning from FDA, USA:

Although all sedative-hypnotic products have these risks, there may be differences among products in how often they occur. For this reason, FDA has recommended that the drug manufacturers conduct clinical studies to investigate the frequency with which sleep-driving and other complex behaviors occur in association with individual drug products.

The medications that are the focus of the revised labeling include the following 13 products:

Ambien/Ambien CR (Sanofi Aventis)Butisol Sodium (Medpointe Pharm HLC)Carbrital (Parke-Davis)Dalmane (Valeant Pharm)Doral (Questcor Pharms) Halcion (Pharmacia & Upjohn)Lunesta (Sepracor) Placidyl (Abbott)Prosom (Abbott)Restoril (Tyco Healthcare)Rozerem (Takeda)Seconal (Lilly)Sonata (King Pharmaceuticals)

Reports of people getting out of bed after taking a sedative-hypnotic and driving their cars while not fully awake, often with no memory of the event, should make us pause and reconsider other options for insomnia.
