Short-term treatment of insomnia (difficulty falling asleep and/or frequent night awakenings)
How ZOLNAP 5MG Works
Zolpidem is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic that enhances the action of GABA at the GABA-A receptor (preferentially BZ1 subtype). This reduces neuronal activity in the brain and helps induce and maintain sleep.
Dosage & Directions
Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at bedtime, just before going to sleep, when you can sleep for at least 7–8 hours. Take on an empty stomach (food can delay onset). Do not take a second dose the same night.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
