Quality Sedation with Ambien

Ambien is classified as a sedative medication, called hypnotic. The drug is also known as Zolpidem and features a drastic effect on the brain chemicals. The active ingredients of the medication help to manage imbalance of chemicals in the brain, improving the condition and providing relief to people with insomnia disorders.

Commonly, Ambien is prescribed as insomnia medication, though it can be used off-label for other purposes that are not mentioned in the safety guide. Talk to your doctor before the beginning of the treatment course. Ambien is available in two forms:

• Immediate-release pills help fall asleep right after you have gone to bed;
• Extended-release tablets that help both fall asleep fast and stay asleep during the whole night.

Your healthcare provider will adjust a suitable Ambien form, dose and intake periodicity to suit your needs and desires.

Vital Information Necessary to Know before the Medication Use

Some people that take Ambien have experienced memory and concentration problems, so stop the medication intake the moment you have felt any severe side effects. Do not start Ambien treatment if you are allergic to Zolpidem as its active ingredient or similar components. Patients who are lactose sensitive should also eliminate the drug administration. Consult your doctor about the safety level of the drug use with other health conditions you have, including:

• Severe liver or kidney disorders;
• Myasthenia gravis;
• Sleep apnea;
• Asthma, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis and other lung problems;
• Depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, mental disorders;

Ambien is a habit-forming medication, so it should be used strictly by those who were prescribed with it. Never pass the drug to other people with similar symptoms without doctor’s approval.

Keep in mind that the active ingredients of Ambien may pass into breast milk and cause a dangerous impact on the health of a nursing child. Additionally, the treatment may lead to serious birth defects in unborn children. Thus, eliminate all the possible risks avoiding the drug during pregnancy and lactation.
