1. WHAT MOGADON IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR

Mogadon belongs to a group of medicines known as benzodiazepines, which are tranquillisers (medicines that have a calming effect).

Mogadon shortens the time taken to fall asleep and lengthens the duration of sleep.

Mogadon Tablets are used for the short term treatment of sleeplessness (also known as insomnia) when it is severe.

Mogadon Tablets help you to sleep but do not cure the underlying cause of your insomnia, which you should discuss with your doctor.

2. BEFORE YOU TAKE MOGADON TABLETS

Do not take Mogadon Tablets if you:

• are allergic (hypersensitive) to nitrazepam or any of the other ingredients of Mogadon Tablets (these are listed in section 6, ˝Further Information˝).
• are allergic (hypersensitive) to any medicine known as a benzodiazepine (e.g. flurazepam, diazepam, chlordiazepoxide or temazepam).
• suffer from lung disease.
• suffer from difficulty breathing while awake or asleep.
• suffer from myasthenia gravis (a condition in which the muscles become weak and tire easily).
• are suffering from a psychiatric illness or a personality disorder (severe mental problems).
• have a severe liver condition.

Mogadon Tablets are not for use in anyone under 18 years of age.

Take special care with Mogadon Tablets

Tell your doctor before you take these tablets if you:

• have a long-term lung, liver or kidney disease.
• suffer from depression or have recently suffered the death of a close friend or relative.
• are suffering or have suffered from a mental illness.
• have abused alcohol or drugs. You must not drink alcohol or use drugs while taking Mogadon.
• are pregnant or breast-feeding.

Because Mogadon Tablets relax the muscles, elderly patients should take extra care when they get up at night as there is a risk of falls and consequently of injuries including hip fractures.

Taking other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. This is extremely important, as using more than one medicine at the same time can strengthen or weaken the effect of the medicines involved. In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

• Antidepressants, other tranquillisers or sleeping pills, or other such medicines that act on the brain and nerves.
• Medicines used to relieve pain or anaesthetics.
• Antihistamines (used for treating allergies) that cause drowsiness (e.g. chlorphenamine).
• Medicines for treating epilepsy (e.g. phenytoin and phenobarbital).
• Medicines that affect the liver (e.g. the antibiotic rifampicin).

Taking Mogadon Tablets with food and drink

Do not drink alcohol for as long as you are taking Mogadon Tablets. Alcohol will increase the effects of the tablets and this can be dangerous.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

Tell your doctor before taking Mogadon Tablets if you are pregnant, think that you are pregnant or intend to become pregnant during treatment. Your doctor will then decide whether you should take this medicine.

Tell your doctor before taking Mogadon Tablets if you are breast-feeding. Avoid taking Mogadon Tablets if you are breast-feeding as Mogadon passes into breast-milk.

If your doctor has decided that you should receive this medicine during late pregnancy or during labour, your baby might have a low body temperature, floppiness and breathing and feeding difficulties. Also, your unborn baby may be at risk of developing dependency to this medicine and after birth may be at some risk of developing withdrawal symptoms.
