Ambien, the brand name for the generic drug zolpidem, is primarily prescribed for the short-term treatment of insomnia, a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Its primary use is to help individuals initiate and maintain sleep. Ambien is most commonly prescribed to treat insomnia, particularly in cases where other non-pharmacological interventions have been ineffective. It helps individuals fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that inhibits brain activity and promotes relaxation.
