Abstract: Zolpidem Hemitartrate is a non-benzodiazepine, hypnotic medication, being the first pharmacological choice to treat insomnia in the short term. Considered a safer medication compared to benzodiazepines, due to its affinity for the α1 subunit of the GABAA receptor, being quite effective in the treatment of sleep disorders, however its abusive use can trigger adverse reactions and dependence, its administration must be carried out in consciously by its users, following the dosage guidelines, and requires prudence from prescribing professionals, and from pharmacists in their guidance, in the long term, regardless of the dosage, Zolpidem Hemitartrate may be ineffective in treating insomnia.
