FAQ
What strengths and pack sizes does Hyplon come in?
Hyplon capsules come as 10mg in packs of 100 or 200. Larger packs cost less per capsule.
How do I track a Hyplon order to Hong Kong?
Order tracking for Hyplon is on the tracking page. Support answers 24/7 in English and Cantonese by live chat. Tracked courier takes 5 to 9 business days with online tracking.
What other names is zaleplon sold under?
Hyplon is a branded generic of zaleplon. Zaleplon is also sold as Sonata. Here, zaleplon can be bought online as Hyplon. These are generics, not the original brand.
Is Hyplon the same as Zaleplon?
Yes, they are the same product: generic zaleplon capsules, with the same strengths and packs. Both names are ordered on this Hyplon page.
Does Hyplon help me stay asleep?
Mainly it helps you fall asleep. Zaleplon is short-acting, so it wears off quickly and does not lengthen sleep or cut the number of times you wake in the night.
How long does Hyplon take to work?
Quickly. Zaleplon is a fast-acting sleeping pill, so take the capsule once you are already in bed. After a heavy, fatty meal it works more slowly.
Can I take Hyplon every night?
It is meant for short stretches. Zaleplon can become habit-forming with regular use, and stopping suddenly after weeks of nightly use can leave you with a rougher night or two of sleep before things settle.
Is Hyplon safe with alcohol?
No. Alcohol adds to the sedation, slows breathing and makes dizziness, clumsiness and sleep-walking episodes more likely. Leave alcohol out on the nights you take a capsule.
Can I drive after taking Hyplon?
Not that night. You should be in bed when it starts working, and driving in a half-asleep state is one of the sleep behaviours zaleplon can cause. Next-morning drowsiness is rarer but possible.
About Hyplon
Hyplon is for falling asleep
Hyplon is a zaleplon capsule, 10mg, taken for insomnia when the problem is getting to sleep. It is a hypnotic, a medicine that slows activity in the brain so sleep can start, and zaleplon is one of the quickest and shortest-acting of the "Z-drugs" (zaleplon, zolpidem, zopiclone). Because it wears off fast, it does not help you sleep longer or stay asleep through the night.
The capsule is taken at bedtime, or once you have been lying awake for a while and have not drifted off. It is a short-term medicine rather than something to rely on every night.
Getting the most from a capsule
Swallow one capsule only when you are ready to go to bed, and be ready to stay there for 7 to 8 hours. You will become drowsy quickly, and anyone still up and about after taking it can feel dizzy, forgetful or unsteady, and may even see things that are not there. A heavy, high-fat meal beforehand can stop it working properly, so a light evening meal suits it better. Keep the capsules dry and out of the heat.
Risks worth knowing
Zaleplon can make people do things in their sleep. Some have got up to drive, cook, make calls or have sex and remembered nothing in the morning. If that has happened once, stop taking it. The more usual effects are drowsiness, dizziness, headache, nausea and a foggy memory the next day.
It can be habit-forming, and a long run followed by a sudden stop may bring unpleasant feelings, cramps, sweating and shakiness, plus a night or two of worse sleep than before. Alcohol and other sedatives, including sedating antihistamines, opioids and other sleep tablets, add to the drowsiness and to the breathing risk. Cimetidine, a stomach-acid medicine, raises zaleplon levels in the body.
