Ambien, or zolpidem tartrate, is a prescription medication primarily used to treat insomnia. Classified as a sedative-hypnotic, it works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, promoting sleep. Ambien is typically prescribed for short-term use due to the risk of dependency and potential side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion. It comes in immediate-release and extended-release forms, helping patients fall and stay asleep. Misuse or overuse can lead to serious side effects, including memory problems, abnormal behavior, and withdrawal symptoms. It is important to follow a healthcare provider's instructions when using Ambien.
