Ethinamate (e-THIN-a-mate) is used to treat insomnia (trouble in sleeping).
However, it has generally been replaced by other medicines for the treatment
of insomnia. If ethinamate is used regularly (for example, every day) to help
produce sleep, it is usually not effective for more than 7 days.
Note:
This medicine is not available in the U.S. or Canada.
