The first layer dissolves quickly to help you fall asleep fast, while the second dissolves slowly to help you stay asleep.*

So you wake up less frequently and fall back to sleep faster.

For people who have trouble falling asleep and/or staying asleep, only AMBIEN CR has two layers that address both problems: The first layer dissolves quickly to help

you fall asleep fast, while the second dissolves slowly to help you stay asleep, so you can wake up ready for your day.** AMBIEN CR can be taken for as long as your

healthcare provider recommends. Ask your prescriber if AMBIEN CR is right for you.

AMBIEN CR is indicated to help you fall asleep and/or

stay asleep.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

AMBIEN CR is a treatment option you and your doctor

can consider along with lifestyle changes and can be

taken for as long as your doctor recommends. Until

you know how AMBIEN CR will affect you, you

shouldn’t drive or operate machinery. Be sure you’re

able to devote 7 to 8 hours to sleep before being

active again. Sleepwalking, and eating or driving while

not fully awake, with amnesia for the event have been

reported. If you experience any of these behaviors

contact your provider immediately. In rare cases sleep

aids may cause allergic reactions such as swelling of

your tongue or throat or shortness of breath or more

severe results. If you have an allergic reaction while

using AMBIEN CR, contact your doctor immediately.

Side effects may include next-day drowsiness,

dizziness and headache. It’s non-narcotic; however,

like most sleep medicines it has some risk of

dependency. Don’t take it with alcohol.

AMBIEN is indicated for short-term treatment to help

you fall asleep.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

When you first start taking AMBIEN, use caution in

the morning when engaging in activities requiring

complete alertness until you know how you will react to

this medication. In most instances, memory problems

can be avoided if you take AMBIEN only when you are

able to get a full night’s sleep (7 to 8 hours) before you

need to be active again. As with any sleep medication,

do not use alcohol while you are taking AMBIEN.

Sleepwalking, and eating or driving while not fully

awake, with amnesia for the event, have been reported.

If you experience any of these behaviors contact your

provider immediately. In rare cases, sleep medicines

may cause allergic reactions such as swelling of your

tongue or throat, shortness of breath or more severe

results. If you have an allergic reaction while using

AMBIEN, contact your doctor immediately. Prescription

sleep aids are often taken for 7 to 10 days - or longer

as advised by your provider. Like most sleep medicines,

it has some risk of dependency. There is a low occurrence

of side effects associated with the short-term use of

AMBIEN. The most commonly observed side effects in

controlled clinical trials were drowsiness (2%),

dizziness (1%), and diarrhea (1%).

You are encouraged to report negative side effects

of prescription drugs to the FDA.
