What does it do?

Zolpidem tartrate is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic, used to improve sleep disorders. It acts on the nervous system to help induce rapid sleep and maintain sleep.

This ingredient binds to the GABA receptors, which are neurotransmitters in the brain, inhibiting neural activity. As a result, it helps reduce excessive brain arousal to facilitate falling asleep quickly.
