Benefits of AMBIEN CR

AMBIEN CR is a dual-layer tablet that helps patients fall asleep and stay asleep*.

Fall asleep

  • The first layer dissolves quickly. It helps promote sleep within 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Due to the rapid effect of AMBIEN CR, it is recommended that you take it when you are ready to go to bed.

Stay asleep

  • Then, the second layer dissolves slowly. In clinical trials, adult patients experienced significantly fewer awakenings, compared with placebo*.

*Proven effective for up to 7 hours in clinical studies.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

AMBIEN CR is a treatment option you and your healthcare provider can consider along with lifestyle changes and can be taken for as long as your provider recommends. Until you know how AMBIEN CR will affect you, you shouldn't drive or operate machinery. Be sure you're able to devote 7 to 8 hours to sleep before being active again. Sleepwalking, and eating or driving while not fully awake, with amnesia for the event, have been reported. If you experience any of these behaviors contact your provider immediately. In rare cases, sleep medicines may cause allergic reactions such as swelling of your tongue or throat, shortness of breath or more severe results. If you have an allergic reaction while using AMBIEN CR, contact your doctor immediately. Side effects may include next-day drowsiness, dizziness, and headache. It's non-narcotic; however, like most sleep medicines, it has some risk of dependency. Don't take it with alcohol.
