HOW BRAND NAME
AMBIEN WORKS

Spend more of your time in bed sleeping rather than trying to fall asleep.

AMBIEN is a prescription sleep medication that works by slowing brain activity. Quieting your brain allows you to fall asleep sooner. Because AMBIEN works quickly it should be taken right before going to bed.

Brand name AMBIEN comes in two strengths. The recommended starting dose for women is 5 mg, while the starting dose for men is 5 mg or 10 mg. Only take 1 AMBIEN tablet a night if needed.
