Zolpidem (Ambien) is a commonly prescribed medication for the short-term treatment of insomnia.
Its rapid onset of action and effectiveness in promoting sleep make it a valuable option for individuals struggling with sleep difficulties. However, due to its potential for dependence, abuse, and serious side effects, zolpidem should be used under careful medical supervision. Patients should follow their healthcare provider's instructions and discuss their medical history and any concerns with their healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective use of zolpidem.
