Zolpidem Tartrate

Used For

Insomnia

How it works

Zolpidem is an imidazopyridine which selectively binds the omega-1 receptor subtype (also known as the benzodiazepine-1 subtype) which is the alpha unit of the GABA-A receptor complex. Whereas benzodiazepines non-selectively bind all three omega receptor subtypes, zolpidem preferentially binds the omega-1 subtype. The modulation of the chloride anion channel via this receptor leads to the specific sedative effects demonstrated by zolpidem. These effects are reversed by the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil.

Precaution

Concomitant use of zolpidem and opioids may result in sedation, respiratory depression, coma and death.

Warning 1

Hypnotics such as zolpidem are not recommended for the primary treatment of psychotic illness.

Warning 2

Use of zolpidem may lead to the development of abuse and/or physical and psychological dependence. The risk of dependence increases with dose and duration of treatment. Cases of dependence have been reported more frequently in patients treated with zolpidem for longer than 4 weeks. The risk of abuse and dependence is also greater in patients with a history of psychiatric disorders and/or alcohol, substance or drug abuse. Zolpidem should be used with extreme caution in patients with current or a history of alcohol, substance or drug abuse or dependence.

Warning 3

Due to its pharmacological properties, zolpidem can cause drowsiness and a decreased level of consciousness, which may lead to falls and consequently to severe injuries.
