Clinical Overview

Zolpidem and Melatonin is a dual-mechanism sleep regulator combining a non-benzodiazepine positive allosteric modulator with the endogenous pineal chronobiotic hormone. Zolpidem binds selectively to the alpha-1 subunit of the GABAA receptor, rapidly inducing sleep onset within 15-30 minutes, while melatonin acts on MT1 and MT2 receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus to synchronize circadian sleep architecture and promote restful sleep maintenance. Indicated for short-term management of sleep-onset and sleep-maintenance insomnia and jet lag/circadian rhythm sleep disorders.

Usage Guidelines

Take orally with a full glass of water immediately before going to bed, or in bed. Only take if at least 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep are available before daytime activities. Do not take with or immediately after a meal, which delays sleep induction.

*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.

Precautions & Warnings

Black box warning: Complex sleep behaviors can cause serious injury or death; discontinue immediately if sleepwalking or sleep-driving occurs. Boxed warning for dependence. Never drink alcohol with this medication.
