Zolpidem Tartrate is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic agent used primarily for the short-term treatment of insomnia. It acts as a GABA-A receptor agonist, promoting sedation and improving sleep onset with minimal next-day drowsiness. Zolpidem has a rapid onset of action and short half-life, making it effective for individuals who struggle with sleep initiation without causing dependence or significant residual effects.
At Bluepill Express, we manufacture high-purity Zolpidem Tartrate API under WHO-GMP, ISO 9001:2015, and cGMP-certified facilities, ensuring international compliance and unmatched product consistency. Our Zolpidem Tartrate complies with IP, BP, USP, and EP pharmacopoeial standards and is ideal for tablet and capsule formulations targeting the global insomnia treatment market.
Therapeutic Uses
- Insomnia: Helps in initiating and maintaining sleep
- Transient Sleep Disturbances: Effective for short-term therapy
- Sleep Onset Disorders: Reduces sleep latency and nighttime awakenings
- Improved Sleep Quality: Provides restful, uninterrupted sleep cycles
- Adjunct in Stress-Related Sleep Disorders: Calms overactive neural pathways
Mechanism of Action
Zolpidem binds selectively to the benzodiazepine (BZ1) site of the GABA-A receptor complex, enhancing the inhibitory effect of GABA neurotransmission in the brain.
This leads to:
- Sedation and hypnosis without muscle relaxation
- Rapid onset and short duration of action
- Minimal interference with natural sleep architecture
