What Are Zolpidem Sublingual Tablets?
The
zolpidem sublingual tablet (
Intermezzo®) is a prescription medication approved for the treatment of
insomnia. It is specifically designed for people who wake up in the middle of the night and have difficulty falling back asleep. This medicine contains the same active ingredient as
Ambien® and
Ambien CR®, except it comes in the form of a fast-acting sublingual tablet with a lower dosage.
Like many other sleep medications, zolpidem sublingual tablets are a
controlled substance and have the potential for abuse.
Just like any medicine, zolpidem sublingual tablets may cause side effects.
However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well.
If reactions do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are treated easily by you or your healthcare provider. Serious side effects are less common.
Common zolpidem sublingual tablet side effects include but are not limited to:
