Description

Zolpidem Tartrate 5 mg is a medication primarily used to treat insomnia. It belongs to the class of drugs known as sedative-hypnotics, which work by affecting the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. By enhancing the activity of GABA, zolpidem produces calming effects, leading to a reduction in the time it takes to fall asleep and an improvement in sleep quality.

This medication is typically prescribed for short-term use, often no longer than 2 weeks, due to the risk of dependence and tolerance with prolonged use. Zolpidem is usually administered orally in the form of tablets, with the standard dosage being 5 mg for adults, typically taken right before bedtime.

Patients using zolpidem should follow their healthcare provider's instructions carefully, as misuse or overuse can lead to adverse effects, including dizziness, drowsiness, and memory problems. It is crucial to avoid alcohol and other central nervous system depressants while taking this medication, as they can enhance the sedative effects and increase the risk of serious side effects.
