What Is Zolpidem

Drug Index

Zolpidem, sold under the brand name Ambien, among others, is a medication primarily used for the short-term treatment of sleeping problems.[7][8] Guidelines recommend that it be used only after cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia and behavioral changes, such as sleep hygiene, have been tried.[9][10][11] It decreases the time to sleep onset by about fifteen minutes and at larger doses helps people stay asleep...

I got zolpidem 10mg and in the brackets saw name aurob Is it generic name for zolpidem? ## Aurob likely refers to Aurobindo, who is a generic drug manufacturer. So this is likely a Zolpidem generic. ## Hello, Irina! How are you? Yes, Chris is correct, thank you! Aurobindo is a pharmaceutical manufacturer. Zolpidem is the name of the active ingredient, so that is the generic name. The name brand for it is Ambien. The FDA classifies this medication as a sedative hypnotic that's used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, sleep actions, hallucinations and next day hangover-like effects. Is there anything else I can help with?

I need to know if any of them are dark orange ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? Zolpidem is available in many colors, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Are there any markings on the tablet in question? That is what would enable it to be identified. Can you please post back with this information? Thanks! The FDA classifies Zolpidem as a sedative hypnotic that is most commonly used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Its typical side effects may include nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, funny taste in mouth, sleep actions, hallucinations and next day hangover-like effects. ## I've been taking it for many years like 20 years and I went from 5 MG to 10 MG & simple sleep over the counter and to trazodone .

I need to know a way to order 10 mg Zolpidem Tartrate by phone, on the web, or by email. ## looking for a place to getzolpideb 10mg. Lost my ins. ## I'm sorry, but this site does not manufacture, nor sell any medications, this is an information only website. There is currently no assistance program for Ambien, probably due to the fact that is isn't considered a life-sustaining medication and since Zolpidem is a generic they aren't any for it. Have you talked to your pharmacy about generics?

I have a small white round tablet with these numbers M S7 Could this be zolpidem. ## Thats not Zolpidem. That is Sumatriptan. It is a medication used for the treatment of migraine headaches. ## I just wanted to add that Post #1 is correct about this pill being Sumatriptan (50 mg). For your own verification though, the National Drug Code is: 00378-5631. If you click on the NDC link, it'll direct you to a photograph of the tablet as well. Furthermore, a white round Zolpidem tablet should look like this: 00093-0074 (although the imprint may vary based on the dosage or manufacturer). I hope that helps!

My pill is round and white with the number 2113 on one side only and is suppose to be a zolpidem 12.5mg. ## Hello, Carol! How are you? Can you please double check the imprint and post back? The closest I can find has the markings A116, which is manufactured by Anchen Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 12.5mgs of Zolpidem in an extended release formulation.

I have taken Zolpidem for about 10 years (10mg most nights). I live in Thailand, and I can get them from a pharmacy...although the quality seems to change. The latest ones are called Zopalet and have MP on one side of the white oval tablet (normal white 10mg shape like Sanofi style but these seem to be roughly-made and chalky, not smooth and shiny or well-made by the press machine). Does anyone know what these are? What they contain? They seem a bit different in action. Weaker and not pure either. I have a fat liver already so I want to avoid problems. What is the most common chemical in fake Ambien or Zolp? ## Bought these also, Pretty sure it's fake. Had no effect on me. ## I literally bought some of these tonight, in Bangkok. I've been getting Zolpidem forever here- for about...

You are completely right about Torrent manufactured generic Ambien. I am also using Medco but they had been sending me a white football shaped pill for generic Ambien 10 mg, that worked okay, not really that good, just okay. Then this month they sent me this peach colored oblong shaped pill with 3 dots on one side and 10 mg on the other and I haven't been able to get to sleep at all this month. I don't understand why anyone would do this to people who can't sleep. Not being able to get to sleep for weeks makes a person crazy. ## My orange pill from Medco mostly works pretty well, but a pharmacist said that a generic manufactured by "Dr, Reddy" was a better brand name to ask for. ## I usually get 10mg round white generic ambien, new pharm tech gave me peach oblong thi...

Has anyone ever heard of or seen Zolfed-10? It is supposed to be a generic for zolpidem 10mg from India but it is no where to be found on the Internet... Very strange ## Agreed. I received some and it took me this long to find this info, very scary ## And on the same day ? Never had this happen before. Let me know how it worked for you if you tried it. I've been up all night ## I actually ended up throwing them out. While searching for answers on the Internet, I found a bunch of things about people dying from generic overseas drugs that were not a know brand/manufacturer and that got me a little scared. ## Good call on tossing them out. My research on Zolfed also leads to no where. I think many of these web based pharmacies just try to take advantage of overseas customers who may th...

orange round pill ## do these work and are they intended to help insomnia? ## does any gernic international ambien come in a peanu shaped pill that is beige in color no markings or a funny shaped blue pill no markings or a tiny round light pink with 20 imprint? ## Norma, in the U.S. all legal prescription drugs have to have an imprint of some sort on them. This is under Federal Law, they must have markings that allow them to be identified according to drug, manufacturer and dosage. Therefore, in the U.S. if it has no marking, it is NOT a prescription medication!! In rare instances, you will run into foreign drugs with no markings and no way to positively identify them, but in most cases if they have no marking, they are something over the counter. There is a Canadian tablet that is desc...

Round pill. 10 in on side and letters Z P L on the other. Suppose to be generic for Ambien by Geneva generics. There's so many diffrent generic pharmacies now. Everytime I get refilled it lookd different. ## That is normal with generic medications. Due to copyright reasons, I cannot post an image, but I can confirm that the tablet marked ZLP 10 does contains 10mgs of Zolpidem and is a generic or Ambien, used to treat short-term insomnia. Common side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, funny tast in mouth and memory loss.

Does anyone know what pharmacies are carrying kanetta zolpidem. I have called lots of pharmacies, but no luck. I now have sandoz ambien 12.5 and they don't seem effective. What ambien manufacturer seems to work best for the people reading this? Thank you.

Round, yellow, with a single embeded marking of A1 or AI approximately 7mm or 5/16ths of an inch accross. Label says NDC:00228-3482-11 Mfg: ACTAV FB:LK - CRC- DS:30. I am feeling well but I am only getting about firv (5) hours sleep. I have checked Google Images for Zolpidem, Zolpidem ER, Ambien and Ambien CR and none of the images correspond to what I am taking. ## Those are 12.5mg extended release Zolpidem tablets. Learn more Zolpidem details here. However, it could just be that it doesn't work well for you and you may need to try a different medication. Are there any others that you've tried yet? ## Consulted doctor and says try to go back to "blue pill." Also, no Trader Joe's 72% Dark Chocolate before trying to go to sleep.

Hi, i have been taking the about drug for 8weeks but didnt have any the last couple of days untill today when i did get some. I normaly only take a night and never in the day time but when i got them to day i took 3 to get this feelings of me coz of having nother for 2 days but instead of the pills getting me to sleep they just made me feel better then i did today and yesterday. Anyone no why? ## Okay, the first question is why did you take so many and during the day? You can't 'catch up' on medications, so to speak and if you're only taking it for the 'feeling' it gives you, then you shouldn't be taking it, but rather you should consult a doctor, because that is the sign of a developing abuse problem. And, Zolpidem is a sedative hypnotic, so while it will he...

ALL CVS pharmacies just changed the zolpidem from MYLAN manufacturer (out of PA) to TORRENT in India. Because generics can certain behave differently, I am nervous about taking the (10 mg) oblong peach Torrent brand one after reading some things online. I also don't like the idea of CVS using from out of the country manufacturer which HAS to be due to a better price because MYLAN brand is still very readily available. Any comments? ## The country doesn't matter, as long as the manufacturer has approval from the FDA for their products to be sold in the U.S., CVS or any other pharmacy, can stock their products. There can be some differences in generic medications, however, this usually doesn't affect the greater number of the people that take it. If you are aware of how it nor...

Just received my prescription of Lypin 10 that's made in India. White bar shaped pills labeled JPEE labs. They aren't actually Ambien. They might have trace Ambien in them. They gave me an almost immediate feeling of half being asleep and very active bad dreams all night. I can take a 5 mg Ambien and it makes me fall asleep immediately. I had to take 2 of these labeled 10 mg to get a restless sleep. I'm about 180 pounds. ## Yeah, I just got mine today as well - Lypin 10 (zolpidem). Wondering if you can take them sublingually? ## I received the same Rx but I haven't tried them yet. Do they work for you? Are they safe? ## Tried one last night. Worked fine.

what would these pills do when mixed ## From what I could gather, there is a "moderate" interaction between Zolpidem & Gabapentin. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of when mixing these two drugs: "Using zolpidem together with gabapentin may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience some impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor." ...

THAT PILL COME in 20mg. ## Hello, Nichi! How are you? No, this medication is not available in a 20mg dosage. The tablet you listed is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 10mgs of Zolpidem, this is the maximum dose available in the regular release tablets. There is a time release tablet available that is 12.5mgs. The FDA classifies this medication as a sedative hypnotic that is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, next-day hangover like effects, menstrual cramping and metallic taste in mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?
