About Zolpirest-M Tablet

Zolpirest-M Tablet is a combination medication containing 'sedative-hypnotics' used in the treatment of insomnia. Insomnia is a disorder of sleep that causes difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep. It may be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) in nature due to various complications like stress, anxiety, and breathing problems.

Zolpirest-M Tablet contains Zolpidem and Melatonin, primarily used to treat insomnia. Zolpidem works by increasing the activity of GABA, which is a chemical messenger in the brain, acting as a natural nerve-calming agent, thereby inducing sleep. Melatonin is a natural hormone that helps to maintain the normal sleep cycle (waking up and falling asleep).  Thus, Zolpirest-M Tablet relaxes muscles, reduces anxiety, and helps to fall asleep.

Take Zolpirest-M Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Zolpirest-M Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. Preferably take Zolpirest-M Tablet empty stomach and just before bedtime. In some cases, you may experience nausea, headache, diarrhoea, drowsiness, and dizziness. Most of these side effects of Zolpirest-M Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
