Zolpidem is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic that selectively binds to the benzodiazepine omega-1 receptor (a subtype of GABA-A receptors) on the GABA-A receptor complex. This binding enhances the inhibitory effects of GABA, leading to sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties, primarily promoting sleep.

• •Known hypersensitivity to Zolpidem or any inactive ingredients.
• •History of complex sleep behaviors after taking Zolpidem.
• •Severe respiratory insufficiency.
• •Severe hepatic impairment.

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
