Zolpidem is a non-benzodiazepine receptor modulator that is primarily indicated for the short-term alleviation of insomnia, particularly in individuals with sleep initiation challenges. This activity discusses zolpidem and its effectiveness in alleviating sleep latency duration and curtailing nocturnal awakenings, especially in cases of transient insomnia. Zolpidem is also used as an adjunct in augmenting sleep quality for those confronting chronic insomnia, owing to its minor muscle relaxant properties. Zolpidem’s pharmacological attributes, optimal dosing considerations, adverse effects, and pertinent contraindications will also be discussed. The activity emphasizes interprofessional collaboration for the adept management of insomnia.
