Ambien is a prescription medication used primarily for the short-term treatment of insomnia, a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Its generic name is zolpidem, and it belongs to a class of drugs known as sedative-hypnotics.
Ambien works by affecting certain chemicals in the brain that may be unbalanced in people with sleep problems. It helps to induce sleep and improves sleep maintenance, allowing individuals to achieve a full night's rest.
