Hypnotics should generally be limited to 7 to 10 days of use and reevaluation of the patient is recommended if they are to be taken for more than 2 to 3 weeks.

Zolpim should not be prescribed in quantities exceeding a 1-month supply.

Dosage & Administration

Adults:

The dose of Zolpim should be individualized. The recommended dose for adults is 10 mg immediately before bedtime.

Downward dosage adjustment may be necessary when Zolpim is administered with agents having known CNS-depressant effects.

Elderly and debilitated patients:

May be especially sensitive to the effects of (zolpidem tartrate).

Hepatic patients:

Insufficiency does not clear the drug as rapidly as normal. So an initial 5-mg dose is recommended in these patients the total Zolpim dose should not exceed 10-mg.
