Product Description
Stilnox - generic name is zolpidem. It is used short-term to treat insomnia. Stilnox belongs to the group of medicines called central nervous system (CNS) depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system). Stilnox is used to treat insomnia (trouble in sleeping). Stilnox helps you get to sleep faster and sleep through the night. In general, when sleep medicines are used every night for a long time, they may lose their effectiveness.

Special precautions

Sleep medicines may cause a special type of memory loss or ``amnesia''. When this occurs, a person does not remember what has happened during the several hours between use of the medicine and the time when its effects wear off. This is usually not a problem since most people fall asleep after taking the medicine. In most instances, memory problems can be avoided by taking Stilnox only when you are able to get a full night's sleep (7 to 8 hours) before you need to be active again. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you think you are having memory problems.
