The United States: Public Notification: U-Dream Lite contains hidden drug ingredient (English only) |
|
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use U-Dream Lite, a product promoted and sold as a sleep aid on various websites and possibly in some retail stores. FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that U-Dream Lite contains a substance structurally similar to eszopiclone and zopiclone. Eszopiclone is the active ingredient in the FDA-approved prescription drug Lunesta, a controlled substance and a sedative-hypnotic (sleep) medicine used to treat insomnia in adults. Zopiclone is a sedative-hypnotic that has been promoted as a sleep aid in other countries, but has not been approved by the FDA. Eszopiclone and zopiclone are known to cause impairment of driving and other activities that require alertness the next morning or next day after use. These ingredients may also cause dry mouth, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, memory loss, and abnormal thoughts and behavior.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:
