Data indicates that 30-40% of the US population complains of transient sleep disorders and that one in ten adults experience periods of chronic sleep issues. The prevalence of insomnia is estimated to be between 35 and 50% of adults. Adequate, restful sleep is essential to the body's well being. Insomnia is defined as having difficulty falling asleep, having difficulty maintaining sleep, awakening too early, and/or experiencing poor quality, non-refreshing sleep.

 


Zolpimist Oral Spray is a novel delivery system of zolpidem tartrate, the most widely prescribed agent in the US for treating insomnia. Zolpimist is sprayed over the tongue and on the back of the mouth where it is absorbed by the oral mucosa and gastrointestinal tract. The product is not inhaled. Due to Zolpimist's rapid absorption it should only be administered immediately before going to bed. Patients should use Zolpimist when they expect to be able to stay in bed for a full night (7-8 hours).

The most common adverse events associated with Zolpimist and zolpidem tartrate are headache, drowsiness, dizziness, and diarrhea. For a complete listing of reported adverse events or for additional information, consult the appended Zolpimist Oral Spray Full Prescribing Information.
