Zolpidem

Zolpidem hemitamwe is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic with specific agonist activity at type 1 benzodiazepine receptors, and is indicated for use in insomnia and other sleep disorders. Structurally zolpidem belongs to a chemically distinct class, thus lacking the side-effects and abuse potential of classical benzodiazepines. It is currently being studied as a pre-operative sedative.
