Lack of sleep can blight lives and ruine health, and more than halth of us suffer from it. Here is described one of the most effective drug that can help you to get a good night's rest.

Zolpidem(Zolbien) 10mg is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs used to treat insomnia(sleeeping problem). Studies have found long-term use of Zolpidem for up to one year safe and effective, but currentFDA(U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approval is limited to short-term use. Zolpidem should only be used at the lowest possible dose and for a maximum of up to four weeks. This will reduce the chance of tolerance, dependence and withdrawal symptoms. Reducing the dose of Zolpidem gradually over time may reduce the chances of having these problems.

Zolpidemappears to offer significant advantages over benzodiazepines, the other drug class most commonly used for insomnia. This is due to Zolpidem's lower incidence of adverse side effects including daytime sedation, amnesia, tolerance, drug dependence, and rebound insomnia after discontinuing the drug. Zolpidem produces a sleep pattern very comparable to normal sleep, which likely explains its superiority.zolpidem.jpg
