What is Zolpidem (Ambien)?
Zolpidem, commonly known by the brand name Ambien, is a prescription sedative primarily used to treat insomnia. It helps people fall asleep by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to relaxation and reduced activity in the central nervous system.
Is Zolpidem the same as Zopiclone?
Zolpidem (Ambien) and Zopiclone are both sedative-hypnotic medications commonly prescribed for short-term treatment of insomnia, but they are not identical. Zopiclone has a higher risk of dependency and side effects, such as a lingering metallic taste. Meanwhile, Zolpidem has been associated with the treatment of insomnia and other complex behaviours, especially in patients with pre-existing mental health conditions.
