Ambien CR

Ambien CR (Zolpidem Tartrate Extended-Release) is a sedative-hypnotic medication prescribed for the treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenance. The dual-layer tablet structure works by releasing the first layer quickly to help patients fall asleep, and the second layer slowly to keep them asleep throughout the night. To minimize side effects like next-day drowsiness, sleepwalking, or cognitive fog, Ambien CR should only be taken immediately before bedtime, ensuring a window of at least 7 to 8 hours of dedicated sleep is available before waking up.
