General information

Zolpidem 10mg is a medication primarily used for the short term treatment of sleeping problems. This includes: difficulty falling asleep, waking in the night, waking early in the morning and sleeping problems that are causing severe distress. Zolpidem 10mg also can be used as a short-term treatment for insomnia.
Zolpidem 10mg decreases the time taken to fall asleep and the number of times you wake up in the night, as well as increasing the total amount of time spent sleeping. Zolpidem 10mg works by acting on receptors in the brain called GABA receptors, specifically the GABA-A receptors.

This causes the release of a neurotransmitter called GABA in the brain. Neurotransmitters are natural body chemicals that act as chemical messengers between nerve cells. GABA is a neurotransmitter that acts as a natural 'nerve-calming' agent. It helps keep the nerve activity in the brain in balance, and is involved in inducing sleepiness, reducing anxiety and relaxing muscles. Zolpidem 10mg is labelled for short-term (usually about two to six weeks) treatment of insomnia at the lowest possible dose. It may be used for both improving sleep onset and staying asleep.
