Has purchasing Zopiclone online been an issue for a long time?

Yes, purchasing Zopiclone online has been an issue for some time. The use of "Z drugs" like Zopiclone has seen a significant increase in recent years. In fact, in 2013-14, Zopiclone was the sixth most common drug among enquiries to the UK National Poisons Information Service’s online database (Ho et al, 2015). This increase in demand has continued, leading to a shortage of the medication, meaning it is harder to purchase on online.

As well as supply issues, there is also a concern about people purchasing Zopiclone from unregulated websites that do not make them provide a prescription, a process which is illegal in the UK. A group of UK experts in clinical toxicology has raised alarms about the ease with which hypnotic drugs, particularly Zopiclone, can be bought from websites that do not require a prescription. An "Internet snapshot survey" they conducted revealed 37 websites selling Zopiclone, with 22 of these explicitly stating no prescription was necessary (Hughes, 2015).
