Drug introduction

Zolpidem is a drug used to treat insomnia and belongs to a class of drugs called hypnotics.

Zolpidem is usually taken in the evening before bed and should be used as recommended by your doctor. Overdosage may cause serious side effects, so follow your doctor's dosage instructions. Avoid drinking alcohol or using other sedatives while using Zolpidem to avoid increased risk. Additionally, long-term use of Zolpidem may lead to dependence, so use of the drug should be discussed regularly with your doctor. If you have any adverse reactions or questions, you should consult your doctor immediately.

Dosage

How to use: ZOLPIDEM is a medication used to treat insomnia and should be taken at bedtime. It is recommended to take it on an empty stomach and avoid taking it with food to ensure optimal absorption.
