Active Ingredient: Zolpidem
Zolpidem is indicated for the short-term treatment of insomnia in adults in situations where the insomnia is debilitating or is causing severe distress for the patient.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Oral
10 - 10 mg
From 10 To 10 mg once every day
10 mg
10 mg
The treatment should be taken in a single intake and not be re-administered during the same night. The recommended daily dose for adults is 10 mg to be taken immediately at bedtime. The lowest effective daily dose of zolpidem tartrate should be used and must not exceed 10 mg.
The duration of treatment should usually vary from a few days to two weeks with a maximum of four weeks including tapering off where clinically appropriate. Treatment should be as short as possible. It should not exceed four weeks including the period of tapering off. In certain cases extension beyond the maximum treatment period may be necessary; if so, extension beyond the maximum treatment period should not take place without re-evaluation of the patient’s status, since the risk of abuse and dependence increases with the duration of treatment.
It should be taken immediately at bedtime.
