Ambien CR

Ambien CR (Controlled Release) is a prescription medication used to help adults fall asleep and stay asleep. It contains zolpidem, which works on the brain's sleep mechanisms to promote restful sleep. Ambien CR is designed to release the drug in two stages, first helping you fall asleep and later helping maintain sleep through the night. It's important to take it exactly as prescribed, usually right before bedtime, and only for short-term use, as it can cause side effects like dizziness or memory problems if misused. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when using Ambien CR.
