What is Ambien?

Zolpidem sells under the brand name Ambien. It is a sedative-hypnotic to help induce sleep. FDA recommends that people should buy Ambien online for use only after trying proper counseling and behavioral changes. Ambien is a medication that decreases sleep onset time by 15 minutes and helps stay asleep at larger doses. It is an oral medication available as generic pills as well as conventional brand name tablets.

Ambien is a non-benzodiazepine medication acting as both a hypnotic and a sedative. It is a type-A agonist of the GABA (gamma amino-butyric acid) receptor belonging to the group of an imidazopyridine, increasing the effects of GABA in the central nervous system by attaching to GABA-A receptors similarly like benzodiazepines.

The typical half-life of Ambien ranges from two to three hours. It means that half of an Ambien pill takes about two to three hours to clear out from your body. Patients with liver problems have increased Ambien half-life.

Zolpidem, the active ingredient of Ambien, got approval for medical use in the year 1992 in the United States. You can buy Ambien online as a generic medication also as its generic version came to the market in 2007.

The DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) puts Ambien under the schedule-IV of the controlled substance act 1970. Ambien is one of the most widely prescribed sleep-inducing medications in the United States, with more than 10 million prescriptions every year.
