Description

Ambien is an authentic name of the active ingredient Zolpidem. This ingredient has been synthesized for a short-term treatment of the insomnia related to a changed working schedule, fatigue, or changed time zone.

It turns out that Ambien is able to improve quality of sleep and accelerate falling asleep. The drug is not benzodiazepine but it has all characteristics peculiar to this group: myorelaxing, sedative, and anticonvulsive action.

The interaction with the central benzodiazepine receptors stimulates the increase of the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid that lowers an agitation of the central nervous system. Therefore, using Ambien causes a relaxation, a fast falling asleep, and a sleep is deeper and strong.

Ambien may be used as the main drug during superexcitation and insomnia as well as during the combined therapy in the treatment of the mental disorders. It helps to restore a good sleep after the first application, and therefore you will be relieved and have a good and healthy sleep.

A great advantage of Ambien is a fast excretion from the body, and that is why a patient will not be tired, sleepy and lack of energy after awakening like it happens during the use of strong sedatives.

In what dose is Ambien used?

If Ambien 5 mg has a poor effect and you still have insomnia, a dose may be increased up to 10 mg per day. According to the statistics, more than 90% of people taking Ambien 10 mg have a calm and strong health.

The Ambien tablets are used orally with enough water. You should take a tablet before going to bed. The action begins in about 15-20 minutes and you will be sleepy.
