Sonata Dosing

General Sonata Dosage Information

Some considerations for people taking Sonata include:
 
  • Your Sonata medication should be taken right before you go to bed.
     
  • Your Sonata dosage should not be taken with food or right after eating a meal.
     
  • Sonata works very quickly; make sure that you are ready for sleep before taking Sonata. Do not take Sonata before driving or performing any tasks that require concentration.
     
  • For Sonata to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Sonata will not work if you take it differently than how your healthcare provider prescribed it.
     
  • In general, Sonata is used to treat insomnia for only a few days. Talk to your healthcare provider if your insomnia does not improve within 7 to 10 days.
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to Sonata or your Sonata dosage, please talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Do not stop taking Sonata without first discussing it with your healthcare provider.
