Sonata Information
Uses
Sonata is used for the short-term treatment
of sleep problems (insomnia).
How To Use
Take this product by mouth, immediately before bedtime
or after you have gone to bed and have difficulty sleeping,
as directed by your doctor. Do not take Sonata
with, or immediately after, a high-fat or heavy meal.
Sonata helps you fall asleep. To minimize side
effects while you are awake (e.g., dizziness or memory
trouble), take Sonata when you are in bed and
are able to get at least four hours of sleep before
you need to be active again. Do not use Sonata
for longer than ten days without your doctor's approval.
If your sleep problems continue, consult with your doctor.
Use Sonata exactly as prescribed. Do not increase
your dose, take it more frequently or use it for a longer
period of time than prescribed because this drug can
be habit-forming. Also, if used for a longer period
of time, do not stop using Sonata without your
doctor's approval.
Soma Side Effects
Headache, drowsiness, nausea or stomach upset may occur.
If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your
doctor promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if you
have any of these serious side effects: dizziness, weakness,
loss of coordination, muscle joint pain. Tell your doctor
immediately if you have any of these unlikely but serious
side effects: mental/mood changes, persistent trouble
sleeping, memory problems, loss of appetite, tingling
of the hands or feet, rash, itching, tremors, eye/ear
problems. Tell your doctor immediately if you have any
of these very unlikely but serious side effects: fast/slow/irregular
pulse, chest pain, trouble breathing, blood in the stool,
unusual thirst, change in amount of urine. If you notice
other effects not listed above, contact your doctor
or pharmacist.
Precautions
Tell your doctor your medical history, including: allergies,
liver disease, lung/breathing problems, mental/mood
problems (e.g., depression), alcohol use or drug dependence.
Avoid alcohol, as it may aggravate certain side effects
of this drug (e.g., dizziness, drowsiness). Use caution
when performing tasks requiring alertness (e.g., driving).
You may have trouble sleeping the first few nights after
you stop using Sonata. This problem usually
goes away after one or two nights. If sleep problems
persist, consult with your doctor. Use with caution
in the elderly, as they may be more sensitive to the
effects of Sonata. Sonata should be
used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss
the risks and benefits with your doctor. Sonata
passes into breast milk. Because of the potential risk
to the infant, breast-feeding while using Sonata
is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-
feeding.
Drug Interactions
Tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription
medication you may use, especially of: rifamycin antibiotics
(e.g., rifampin, rifabutin), antidepressants (e.g.,
imipramine, amitriptyline), ulcer medication (e.g.,
cimetidine). Also report any drugs causing drowsiness
such as: other medicines for sleep, sedatives, tranquilizers,
anti-anxiety drugs, narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine),
psychiatric medications (e.g., thioridazine), anti-seizure
medications (e.g., phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine),
muscle relaxants, antihistamines that cause drowsiness
(e.g., diphenhydramine). Check all medicine labels carefully,
especially cough-and-cold preparations, since many contain
antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine). Consult your
pharmacist regarding safe use of these products. Do
not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist
approval.
Overdose
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison
control center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms
of overdose may include drowsiness; confusion; sluggishness;
loss of coordination; slow, shallow breathing; and loss
of consciousness.
