Edluar is indicated for the short-term treatment of insomnia, specifically difficulty falling asleep. It is prescribed for adults experiencing sleep-onset insomnia.
Edluar contains zolpidem, which acts on the central nervous system by binding to GABA-A receptors, enhancing the effect of GABA neurotransmitters to produce a calming effect that helps initiate sleep.
Edluar should only be used for short-term treatment, typically 7-10 days. Patients should ensure they can get a full night's sleep (7-8 hours) before taking Edluar. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and potential complex sleep behaviors. It may cause dependence and should not be used with alcohol or other CNS depressants.
