About

Ambien(Zolpidem) is a medication primarily prescribed to temporarily alleviate sleep disorders. It is recommended as a secondary choice after trying cognitive behavioral therapy and making behavioral changes to improve sleep habits. This medication can decrease the time it takes to fall asleep by about fifteen minutes and help individuals stay asleep for longer periods when taken in higher doses. Ambien is taken orally and is available in immediate-release tablet form.
