Brief Answer:
changing of company/brand may affect quality of the product

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Limovan contains zopiclone. All limovan may not have same effects. Changing of company/brand of zopiclone from country to country or even within country can affect quality of drug. Most of the drugs of standard companies have same effects but there is always some difference in generic and branded medicines.

However other possibility also needs to be rule out is tolerance to the drug. It means after long use drug is not effective as much as before with same dose.
You can check the same by using drugs of company which you were using before. If it is effective, problem is with quality and if it does not work, possibility of tolerance is there.


Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
