Belbien 10 mg

Description

Belbien 10 mg, also known as zolpidem, is a medication primarily used for the short-term treatment of insomnia, particularly for those who have difficulty initiating sleep.

• Mechanism of Action: Belbien works by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter in the brain that promotes relaxation and sleep. It binds to the benzodiazepine (BZD) receptors of the GABA receptor complex, leading to neuronal hyperpolarization and decreased neuronal excitability¹².
• Usage: It is typically taken right before bedtime, with the recommended dose being 5 mg for women and 5 or 10 mg for men¹. It’s important to ensure you have at least 7-8 hours available for sleep after taking it¹.
• Effects: Belbien has a rapid onset of action, usually within 15 minutes, and a short duration of effect, making it effective for helping you fall asleep quickly³. It has strong sedative properties but minimal anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), myorelaxant (muscle-relaxing), and anticonvulsant effects¹.
• Side Effects: Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and decreased alertness. It can also cause changes in psychomotor function¹.
• Precautions: It should be used with caution in individuals with liver or kidney disease, respiratory issues, or a history of substance abuse. It is not recommended for use in children under 18 years old,
