Activity Description

Zolpidem is a non-benzodiazepine receptor modulator that is primarily indicated for the short-term alleviation of insomnia, particularly in individuals with sleep initiation challenges. This activity discusses zolpidem and its effectiveness in alleviating sleep latency duration and curtailing nocturnal awakenings, especially in cases of transient insomnia. Zolpidem is also used as an adjunct in augmenting sleep quality for those confronting chronic insomnia, owing to its minor muscle relaxant properties. Zolpidem's pharmacological attributes, optimal dosing considerations, adverse effects, and pertinent contraindications will also be discussed. The activity emphasizes interprofessional collaboration for the adept management of insomnia.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the indications for zolpidem.

  • Evaluate the mechanism of action of zolpidem.

  • Assess the adverse effects of zolpidem.

  • Implement effective collaboration and communication among interprofessional team members to improve outcomes and treatment efficacy for patients who might benefit from zolpidem therapy for insomnia.
