About Generic ambien 5mg
Generic Ambien is a medication that’s often prescribed to help with insomnia, or trouble sleeping. It works by affecting the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor in the brain, causing you to feel sleepy.
It’s best to only take zolpidem for short periods of time, to lower the risk of becoming dependent on the medication.
Zolpidem or zolpidem tartrate is the generic name of Ambien. If your healthcare provider prescribes either zolpidem or Ambien, your prescription bottle will usually say zolpidem tartrate because the pharmacy provided the generic version of the medication.
