Zolpidem 10 mg (Ambin) – Pack of 50 Tablets

Zolpidem 10 mg, sold under brand names like Ambin (similar to Ambien), is a prescription sedative-hypnotic medication used to treat short-term insomnia in adults. It helps you fall asleep faster, improves sleep quality, and reduces nighttime awakenings. This medication is intended for short-term use only, typically not more than 1–2 weeks.

Medicinal Benefits:

• Helps initiate and maintain sleep in people with insomnia

How It Works:

Zolpidem enhances the activity of GABA, a natural brain chemical that promotes sleep. It binds to GABA-A receptors, calming the brain and nervous system, which helps induce and maintain sleep.
