How ZOLPID -10 10`S Works
Zolpidem is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic that enhances the effect of GABA at the GABA-A receptor (preferentially via the BZ1/omega-1 site). This increases inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain, helping induce sleep and reduce nighttime awakenings.
Dosage & Directions
Take by mouth exactly as prescribed, usually once daily at bedtime, immediately before going to sleep. Take on an empty stomach (or avoid taking with/after a heavy meal) for faster onset. Ensure you can sleep for at least 7–8 hours after taking; do not take a second dose in the same night.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
