their new sleeping pill, Sonata

September 1999

Wyeth is already promoting their new sleeping pill, Sonata...even though it won't be out until October.

They are emphasizing that Sonata (zaleplon) is so short-acting that patients can take it in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT...and not worry about lingering effects in the morning.

Sonata has a fast onset...usually 10 to 20 minutes. Its effects last only 4 hours.
