Ambien CR Oral Notes

Do not share this medication with others. It is against the law.

Usually, insomnia is temporary and requires sleep medication only for a short time. If you require treatment for more than 2 weeks, laboratory and/or medical tests should be performed to find the cause of your sleep problem.

As you get older, your sleep pattern may naturally change and your sleep may be interrupted several times during the night. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for ways to improve your sleep without medication, such as avoiding caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime, avoiding daytime naps, and going to bed at the same time each night.
