NIGHTMAX 5 TAB 1X10

About

NIGHTMAX 5 TAB contains Zolpidem 5mg, a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic agent primarily used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Zolpidem works by selectively binding to the omega-1 receptor subtype of the GABA-A receptor complex in the brain, which is responsible for sedative, anxiolytic, and anticonvulsant effects. This selective action helps to initiate and maintain sleep by enhancing the inhibitory effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter that calms brain activity. Unlike traditional benzodiazepines, Zolpidem has a more targeted effect, leading to a reduced risk of muscle relaxation and anticonvulsant properties at therapeutic doses. It is designed to help individuals fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, thereby improving sleep quality and overall daytime functioning. Due to its rapid onset of action and relatively short half-life, it is particularly useful for individuals who have difficulty falling asleep.

• Breastfeeding - Zolpidem passes into breast milk. Use is generally not recommended during breastfeeding due to potential sedation in the infant.
• Liver - Dosage adjustment is required in patients with liver impairment, as Zolpidem is extensively metabolized by the liver.
• Kidney - No dosage adjustment is typically required for mild to moderate kidney impairment. Use with caution in severe renal disease.
• Lung - Use with caution in patients with respiratory insufficiency or sleep apnea, as it can depress respiratory function.
