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
