Caffeine-containing Foods/Beverages

· Severity: Moderate

· Notes for Consumers: Caffeine is a stimulant and may keep you awake when taken at night. Avoid Caffeine-containing beverages or products prior to going to bed since Caffeine can decrease the ability of Eszopiclone to help you sleep.

· Notes for Professionals: In general, patients taking medications for insomnia should not use caffeine-containing products including medications, dietary supplements (e.g., guarana), and beverages (e.g., coffee, green tea, other teas, or colas) prior to going to bed as these products, theoretically, may pharmacodynamically antagonize the sedative effects of eszopiclone.
