Zolpidem, commonly sold as Ambien, is a sedative-hypnotic used to treat insomnia. It helps induce sleep by interacting with GABA receptors, promoting relaxation and faster sleep onset. Zolpidem is generally prescribed for short-term use to reduce the risk of dependence. Side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, and sleepwalking. Because of its sedative effects, patients are advised to take it only before bed and to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until fully awake. Combining zolpidem with alcohol can increase the risk of severe sedation and is not recommended.
