Внутрь, непосредственно перед сном, запивая жидкостью, через небольшой промежуток времени после принятия пищи.
Пациенты при применении препарата Zodorm® должны предполагать, что смогут позволить себе непрерывный сон в течение 7–8 ч.
Дозы и продолжительность лечения определяются лечащим врачом. Необходимо строго придерживаться указаний врача и не превышать предписанную врачом дозу препарата Zodorm®.
Максимальная суточная доза для взрослых составляет 10 мг перед сном. Для пациентов пожилого возраста (старше 65 лет), ослабленных пациентов, а также для больных с печеночной недостаточностью начальная доза составляет 5 мг; при необходимости (недостаточный клинический эффект) и хорошей переносимости препарата доза может быть увеличена до 10 мг.
Курс лечения не должен превышать 4 нед. При преходящей бессоннице рекомендуемый курс лечения — 2–5 дней, при ситуационной — 2–3 нед. Короткие периоды лечения не требуют постепенной отмены препарата.
В случае длительного приема препарата для снижения возможности развития рикошетной бессонницы отмена золпидема должна проводиться постепенно (сначала снижение суточной дозы и затем отмена препарата).

По данным ВОЗ, нежелательные эффекты классифицированы в соответствии с частотой их развития следующим образом: часто (>1/100, <1/10); нечасто (>1/1000, <1/100); редко (>1/10000, <1/1000) и очень редко (<1/10000), включая отдельные сообщения; неизвестно — на основании доступных данных определение частоты возникновения невозможно.
Частота развития побочных эффектов зависит от дозы. Побочные эффекты чаще отмечаются у женщин, чем у мужчин.
Со стороны центральной и периферической нервной системы: часто — сонливость, ощущение опьянения, головная боль, головокружение, усиление бессонницы, антероградная амнезия (эффекты амнезии могут ассоциироваться с поведенческими реакциями), риск развития которой увеличивается пропорционально дозе, галлюцинации (в т.ч. зрительные и слуховые), повышенная возбудимость, кошмарные сновидения, эмоциональная лабильность, вертиго, атаксия; нечасто — мигрень, парестезии, тремор, спутанность сознания, снижение концентрации внимания (при недостаточности времени сна), раздражительность, эйфория; редко — агрессивность, бред, психотические состояния, сомнамбулизм, неадекватное поведение и другие нарушения в поведении (эти реакции чаще случаются у пожилых людей); очень редко — гнев; частота неизвестна — дисфория, поведенческие расстройства, лекарственная зависимость (может развиться, в т.ч. и при использовании терапевтических доз), при отмене препарата — синдром отмены или «рикошетная» бессонница, снижение либидо, привыкание к препарату (снижение седативного и снотворного действия при применении в течение нескольких недель). Большинство побочных эффектов со стороны психики являются парадоксальными реакциям.
Со стороны пищеварительной системы: часто — диарея; нечасто — тошнота, рвота, абдоминальные боли, дисфагия, метеоризм, икота, гастроэнтерит; редко — повышение активности печеночных ферментов.
Со стороны опорно-двигательного аппарата: не очень часто — мышечная слабость, артрит.
Со стороны кожных покровов и подкожно-жировой клетчатки: нечасто — сыпь, зуд, крапивница, повышенная потливость; редко — бледность, отек Квинке.
Со стороны органа зрения: нечасто — диплопия.
Со стороны ССС: нечасто — тахикардия, цереброваскулярные расстройства, повышение и снижение АД, ортостатическая гипотензия.
Со стороны органов дыхания: нечасто: бронхит, кашель, диспноэ.
Со стороны эндокринной системы: нечасто: гипергликемия.
Прочие: часто — чувство усталости; нечасто — травмы, падения (главным образом у пациентов пожилого возраста), периферические отеки, лихорадка.
При появлении любых нежелательных явлений, не перечисленных в данной инструкции, следует обратиться к врачу.

При случайной передозировке препарата Zodorm® следует немедленно обратиться к врачу.
Симптомы в основном обусловлены угнетением ЦНС: возможно нарушение сознания от легких форм (спутанность сознания, заторможенность) до тяжелых (вплоть до комы), атаксия, снижение АД, угнетение дыхания, опасное для жизни пациента.
Лечение: если после приема чрезмерной дозы прошло менее 1 ч и пациент находится в сознании, следует попытаться вызвать рвоту. При невозможности вызвать рвоту или в случае бессознательного состояния пациента рекомендуется проведение промывания желудка. Если после случайного или преднамеренного приема чрезмерной дозы препарата прошло более 1 ч, пациенту следует дать принять внутрь или ввести через зонд (при бессознательном состоянии) активированный уголь для уменьшения абсорбции золпидема. При передозировке проводится симптоматическая терапия (в условиях стационара) и лечение, направленное на поддержание основных функций организма, в частности функций дыхания и CCC.
Седативные лекарства не следует применять после передозировки золпидема, даже если появится возбуждение.
В случае тяжелой передозировки для дифференциальной диагностики и/или лечения следует рассмотреть вопрос о введении флумазенила (антагонист бензодиазепиновых рецепторов) в условиях стационара, однако следует помнить, что подавление бензодиазепиновых рецепторов может вызвать неврологические нарушения (судороги), особенно у больных эпилепсией.
Золпидем не выводится с помощью гемодиализа.

Золпидем представляет собой снотворное средство, относящееся к группе имидазопиридинов. Отличаясь по структуре от бензодиазепинов, золпидем оказывает седативное действие, при этом анксиолитическое, противосудорожное и центральное миорелаксирующее действие выражено незначительно.
Согласно классификации, аллостерические участки комплекса ГАМК, с которыми связываются бензодиазепины, называются омега-модулирующими участками или рецепторами. К настоящему времени было идентифицировано три подтипа: 1, 2 и 3. В отличие от бензодиазепинов, которые неселективно связываются и активируют все три подтипа омега-рецепторов, золпидем селективно связывается с омега1-рецептором, поэтому седативное действие препарата наблюдается при меньших дозах, чем дозы необходимые для развития миорелаксирующего, противосудорожного и анксиолитического эффекта.
Омега1-рецепторы в основном находятся в четвертом слое сенсорной коры больших полушарий, в мозжечке, варолиевом мосте и нижних бугорках четверохолмия.
Золпидем показал низкое сродство к омега2-рецепторам (поясничный отдел позвоночника, гиппокамп) и омега3-рецепторам (определенные периферические области). Современный опыт показывает, что фармакологическое действие золпидема отличается от действия бензодиазепинов.
Взаимодействие с омега-рецепторами приводит к открытию нейрональных ионофорных каналов для ионов хлора.
Эффект наступает быстро. Укорачивает время засыпания, уменьшает число ночных пробуждений, увеличивает общую продолжительность сна и улучшает его качество. Удлиняет II стадию сна и стадии глубокого сна (III и IV).

Золпидем быстро абсорбируется из ЖКТ. После приема дозы 5 и 10 мг Cmax в плазме крови составляет соответственно 59 и 121 нг/мл, Tmax — от 0,5 до 3 ч (среднее Tmax — 1,6 ч).
При наличии еды в желудке всасывание золпидема слегка замедляется. Для ускорения наступления сна золпидем не следует принимать с едой или непосредственно после приема пищи. Фармакокинетика золпидема остается неизменной в течение нескольких недель применения.
Биодоступность золпидема достигает 70%, связь с белками плазмы — 92%.
Существует линейная зависимость между величиной дозы препарата и концентрацией золпидема в плазме.
Метаболизируется в печени с образованием трех неактивных метаболитов, которые выводятся почками (около 60%) и через кишечник (около 40%).
T1/2 золпидема составляет от 0,7 до 3,5 ч (в среднем около 2,4 ч).
Общий клиренс золпидема составляет 0,26 л/ч/кг, Vd 0,54 л/кг. Не индуцирует ферменты печени. Не кумулирует.
У лиц пожилого возраста клиренс в плазме крови может снижаться без существенного увеличения T1/2 (в среднем 3 ч), при этом Cmax увеличивается на 50%.
У больных с выраженными нарушениями функции почек клиренс увеличивается незначительно. У больных с нарушениями функции печени биодоступность увеличивается, T1/2 возрастает до 10 ч.

Перед приемом препарата пациент должен сообщить врачу о всех лекарствах, которые он принимает, включая купленные без рецепта врача.
Нерекомендуемые комбинации: этанол усиливает седативное действие золпидема.
Комбинации, требующие осторожности при применении: ЛС, угнетающие ЦНС (нейролептики, барбитураты, другие снотворные, анксиолитики/седативные, антидепрессанты с седативным действием, наркотические анальгетики, противокашлевые центрального действия), противоэпилептические; ЛС для общей анестезии, блокаторы Н1-гистаминовых рецепторов с седативным эффектом, гипотензивные средства центрального действия, баклофен, талидомид, пизотифен — усиление угнетающего действия на ЦНС и риск угнетения дыхания; бупренорфин — риск угнетения дыхания; кетоконазол (мощный ингибитор изофермента CYP3A4) в дозе 200 мг 2 раза в сутки, а также ритонавир увеличивают T1/2, AUC и снижают клиренс золпидема (возможно усиление седативного действия золпидема); итраконазол (ингибитор изофермента CYP3A4) — незначительное, клинически незначимое изменение фармакокинетики и фармакодинамики золпидема.
Взаимодействия, которые следует принимать во внимание: рифампицин (индуктор изофермента CYP3A4) — ускоряет метаболизм, снижает концентрацию и, как следствие, эффективность золпидема.
Флумазенил устраняет снотворное действие препарата Zodorm®.

Zolpidem tartrate
Золпидем — относительно новый гипнотик, структурально близкий к имидазопиридину. Хотя золпидем не является бензодиазепином, он воздействует на бензодиазепиновые рецепторы, его гипнотический эффект может быть снят антагонистом бензодиазепинов — флумазенилом. Золпидем быстро всасывается после орального приема, гипнотический эффект может возникнуть через 10—15 минут, поэтому принимать его надо непосредственно перед отходом ко сну.
Препарат метаболизируется в печени, выделяется с мочой. Период полураспада вещества — 2—3 часа.
Показания и дозирование: бессонница — 10 mg перед отходом ко сну. Пожилым и ослабленным пациентам дают 5 mg. Лечение не рекомендуется проводить более 7— 10 дней.
Противопоказания: повышенная чувствительность к препарату. Не назначать пациентам до 18 лет и кормящим матерям. Беременность: применять только при строгих показаниях.
Предостережения: не сочетать с алкоголем, осторожно при сочетании с другими ЦНС-депрессантами. Очень осторожно у пациентов с признаками депрессии. Осторожно при нарушении дыхательной функции; заболеваниях почек или печени; лекарственном привыкании в анамнезе.
Побочные эффекты: последействие (сонливость); головокружение; тошнота; диарея; аллергические реакции; проявления синдрома отмены: дисфория, сонливость, амнезия; не исключена возможность привыкания к препарату.

Clinical Trials Experience
Associated With Discontinuation Of Treatment
Approximately 4% of 1,701 patients who received zolpidem tartrate at all doses (1.25 to 90 mg) in U.S. premarketing clinical trials discontinued treatment because of an adverse reaction. Reactions most commonly associated with discontinuation from U.S. trials were daytime drowsiness (0.5%), dizziness (0.4%), headache (0.5%), nausea (0.6%), and vomiting (0.5%).
Approximately 4% of 1,959 patients who received zolpidem tartrate at all doses (1 to 50 mg) in similar foreign trials discontinued treatment because of an adverse reaction. Reactions most commonly associated with discontinuation from these trials were daytime drowsiness (1.1%), dizziness/vertigo (0.8%), amnesia (0.5%), nausea (0.5%), headache (0.4%), and falls (0.4%).
Data from a clinical study in which selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)-treated patients were given zolpidem tartrate revealed that four of the seven discontinuations during double-blind treatment with zolpidem (n=95) were associated with impaired concentration, continuing or aggravated depression, and manic reaction; one patient treated with placebo (n=97) was discontinued after an attempted suicide.
Most Commonly Observed Adverse Reactions In Controlled Trials
During short-term treatment (up to 10 nights) with zolpidem tartrate at doses up to 10 mg, the most commonly observed adverse reactions associated with the use of zolpidem and seen at statistically significant differences from placebo-treated patients were drowsiness (reported by 2% of zolpidem patients), dizziness (1%), and diarrhea (1%). During longer-term treatment (28 to 35 nights) with zolpidem tartrate at doses up to 10 mg, the most commonly observed adverse reactions associated with the use of zolpidem and seen at statistically significant differences from placebo-treated patients were dizziness (5%) and drugged feelings (3%).
Adverse Reactions Observed At An Incidence Of = 1% In Controlled Trials
The following tables enumerate treatment-emergent adverse event frequencies that were observed at an incidence equal to 1% or greater among patients with insomnia who received zolpidem tartrate and at a greater incidence than placebo in U.S. placebo-controlled trials. Events reported by investigators were classified utilizing a modified World Health Organization (WHO) dictionary of preferred terms for the purpose of establishing event frequencies. The prescriber should be aware that these figures cannot be used to predict the incidence of side effects in the course of usual medical practice, in which patient characteristics and other factors differ from those that prevailed in these clinical trials. Similarly, the cited frequencies cannot be compared with figures obtained from other clinical investigators involving related drug products and uses, since each group of drug trials is conducted under a different set of conditions. However, the cited figures provide the physician with a basis for estimating the relative contribution of drug and nondrug factors to the incidence of side effects in the population studied.
The following table was derived from a pool of 11 placebo-controlled short-term U.S. efficacy trials involving zolpidem in doses ranging from 1.25 to 20 mg. The table is limited to data from doses up to and including 10 mg, the highest dose recommended for use.

Dose Relationship For Adverse Reactions Associated With Oral Zolpidem
There is evidence from dose comparison trials suggesting a dose relationship for many of the adverse reactions associated with oral zolpidem use, particularly for certain CNS and gastrointestinal adverse events.
Oral Tissue-Related Adverse Reactions To Zodorm
The effect of chronic daily administration of Zodorm on oral tissue was evaluated in a 60-day open-label study in 60 insomniac patients. One patient developed transient sublingual erythema, and another transient paresthesia of the tongue.
Adverse Event Incidence Across The Entire Preapproval Oral Zolpidem Database
Zolpidem was administered to 3,660 subjects in clinical trials throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Treatment-emergent adverse events associated with clinical trial participation were recorded by clinical investigators using terminology of their own choosing. To provide a meaningful estimate of the proportion of individuals experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events, similar types of untoward events were grouped into a smaller number of standardized event categories and classified utilizing a modified World Health Organization (WHO) dictionary of preferred terms.
The frequencies presented, therefore, represent the proportions of the 3,660 individuals exposed to zolpidem, at all doses, who experienced an event of the type cited on at least one occasion while receiving zolpidem. All reported treatment-emergent adverse events are included, except those already listed in the table above of adverse events in placebo-controlled studies, those coding terms that are so general as to be uninformative, and those events where a drug cause was remote. It is important to emphasize that, although the events reported did occur during treatment with zolpidem, they were not necessarily caused by it.
Adverse events are further classified within body system categories and enumerated in order of decreasing frequency using the following definitions: frequent adverse events are defined as those occurring in greater than 1/100 subjects; infrequent adverse events are those occurring in 1/100 to 1/1,000 patients; rare events are those occurring in less than 1/1,000 patients.

Urogenital system: Frequent: urinary tract infection. Infrequent: cystitis, urinary incontinence. Rare: acute renal failure, dysuria, micturition frequency, nocturia, polyuria, pyelonephritis, renal pain, urinary retention.
These effects seem to be related with individual sensitivity and to appear more often within the hour following the drug intake if the patient does not go to bed or does not sleep immediately.
The adverse drug reactions are stated in the table below using the following convention:
Very common (>1/10); common (>1/100; <1/10); uncommon (>1/1,000; <1/100); rare (>1/10,000; <1/1,000); very rare (<1/10,000) including isolated reports; not known (cannot be estimated from available data).
There is evidence for a dose connection for reactions associated with use of Zodorm, especially certain CNS reactions and gastrointestinal events. Theoretically they should be less if Zodorm is taken immediately before bedtime. They occur most frequently in elderly patients.

Reactions like restlessness, agitation, irritability, aggressiveness, delusions, rage, nightmares, increased insomnia, hallucinations, psychoses, inappropriate behaviour and other adverse behavioural effects may occur when using benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine-like agents. Such reactions are more likely to occur in the elderly.
Dependence
Use (even at therapeutic dosages) may lead to physical dependence: discontinuation of the therapy may result in withdrawal or rebound phenomena.
Psychological dependence may occur. Abuse has been reported in polydrug abusers.

Clinical Trials Experience
Associated With Discontinuation Of Treatment
In 3-week clinical trials in adults and elderly patients ( > 65 years), 3.5% (7/201) patients receiving Zodorm 6.25 or 12.5 mg discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction as compared to 0.9% (2/216) of patients on placebo. The reaction most commonly associated with discontinuation in patients treated with Zodorm was somnolence (1%).
In a 6-month study in adult patients (18-64 years of age), 8.5% (57/669) of patients receiving Zodorm 12.5 mg as compared to 4.6% on placebo (16/349) discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction. Reactions most commonly associated with discontinuation of Zodorm included anxiety (anxiety, restlessness or agitation) reported in 1.5% (10/669) of patients as compared to 0.3% (1/349) of patients on placebo, and depression (depression, major depression or depressed mood) reported in 1.5% (10/669) of patients as compared to 0.3% (1/349) of patients on placebo.
Data from a clinical study in which selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor-(SSRI-) treated patients were given zolpidem revealed that four of the seven discontinuations during double-blind treatment with zolpidem (n=95) were associated with impaired concentration, continuing or aggravated depression, and manic reaction; one patient treated with placebo (n =97) was discontinued after an attempted suicide.
Most Commonly Observed Adverse Reactions In Controlled Trials
During treatment with Zodorm in adults and elderly at daily doses of 12.5 mg and 6.25 mg, respectively, each for three weeks, the most commonly observed adverse reactions associated with the use of Zodorm were headache, next-day somnolence, and dizziness.
In the 6-month trial evaluating Zodorm 12.5 mg, the adverse reaction profile was consistent with that reported in short-term trials, except for a higher incidence of anxiety (6.3% for Zodorm versus 2.6% for placebo).
Adverse Reactions Observed At An Incidence Of ≥ 1% In Controlled Trials
The following tables enumerate treatment-emergent adverse reaction frequencies that were observed at an incidence equal to 1% or greater among patients with insomnia who received Zodorm in placebo-controlled trials. Events reported by investigators were classified utilizing the MedDRA dictionary for the purpose of establishing event frequencies. The prescriber should be aware that these figures cannot be used to predict the incidence of side effects in the course of usual medical practice, in which patient characteristics and other factors differ from those that prevailed in these clinical trials. Similarly, the cited frequencies cannot be compared with figures obtained from other clinical investigators involving related drug products and uses, since each group of drug trials is conducted under a different set of conditions. However, the cited figures provide the physician with a basis for estimating the relative contribution of drug and nondrug factors to the incidence of side effects in the population studied.
The following tables were derived from results of two placebo-controlled efficacy trials involving Zodorm. These trials involved patients with primary insomnia who were treated for 3 weeks with Zodorm at doses of 12.5 mg (Table 1) or 6.25 mg (Table 2), respectively. The tables include only adverse reactions occurring at an incidence of at least 1% for Zodorm patients and with an incidence greater than that seen in the placebo patients.

Dose Relationship For Adverse Reactions
There is evidence from dose comparison trials suggesting a dose relationship for many of the adverse reactions associated with zolpidem use, particularly for certain CNS and gastrointestinal adverse events.
Other Adverse Reactions Observed During The Premarketing Evaluation Of Zodorm
Other treatment-emergent adverse reactions associated with participation in Zodorm studies (those reported at frequencies of < 1%) were not different in nature or frequency to those seen in studies with immediate-release zolpidem tartrate, which are listed below.
Adverse Events Observed During The Premarketing Evaluation Of Immediate-Release Zolpidem Tartrate
Immediate-release zolpidem tartrate was administered to 3,660 subjects in clinical trials throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Treatment-emergent adverse events associated with clinical trial participation were recorded by clinical investigators using terminology of their own choosing. To provide a meaningful estimate of the proportion of individuals experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events, similar types of untoward events were grouped into a smaller number of standardized event categories and classified utilizing a modified World Health Organization (WHO) dictionary of preferred terms.
The frequencies presented, therefore, represent the proportions of the 3,660 individuals exposed to zolpidem, at all doses, who experienced an event of the type cited on at least one occasion while receiving zolpidem. All reported treatment-emergent adverse events are included, except those already listed in the table above of adverse events in placebo-controlled studies, those coding terms that are so general as to be uninformative, and those events where a drug cause was remote. It is important to emphasize that, although the events reported did occur during treatment with AMBIEN, they were not necessarily caused by it.
Adverse events are further classified within body system categories and enumerated in order of decreasing frequency using the following definitions: frequent adverse events are defined as those occurring in greater than 1/100 subjects; infrequent adverse events are those occurring in 1/100 to 1/1,000 patients; rare events are those occurring in less than 1/1,000 patients.
Autonomic nervous system: Frequent: dry mouth. Infrequent: increased sweating, pallor, postural hypotension, syncope. Rare: abnormal accommodation, altered saliva, flushing, glaucoma, hypotension, impotence, increased saliva, tenesmus.

Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Zodorm. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Liver and biliary system: acute hepatocellular, cholestatic or mixed liver injury with or without jaundice (i.e., bilirubin > 2x ULN, alkaline phosphatase ≥ 2x ULN, transaminase ≥ 5x ULN).
The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling:
- Serious anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions.
- Abnormal thinking, behavior changes, and complex behaviors.
- Withdrawal effects.
- CNS-depressant effects.
Clinical trials experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The adverse reaction information from clinical trials does, however, provide a basis for identifying the adverse events that appear to be related to drug use and for approximating incidence rates.
Associated with discontinuation of treatment
Approximately 4% of 1,701 patients who received zolpidem tartrate at all doses (1.25 to 90 mg) in U.S. premarketing clinical trials discontinued treatment because of an adverse reaction. Reactions most commonly associated with discontinuation from U.S. trials were daytime drowsiness (0.5%), dizziness (0.4%), headache (0.5%), nausea (0.6%), and vomiting (0.5%).
Approximately 4% of 1,959 patients who received zolpidem at all doses (1 to 50 mg) in similar foreign trials discontinued treatment because of an adverse reaction. Reactions most commonly associated with discontinuation from these trials were daytime drowsiness (1.1%), dizziness/vertigo (0.8%), amnesia (0.5%), nausea (0.5%), headache (0.4%), and falls (0.4%).
Data from a clinical study in which selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)-treated patients were given zolpidem revealed that four of the seven discontinuations during double-blind treatment with zolpidem (n=95) were associated with impaired concentration, continuing or aggravated depression, and manic reaction; one patient treated with placebo (n=97) was discontinued after an attempted suicide.
Most commonly observed adverse reactions in controlled trials
During short-term treatment (up to 10 nights) with zolpidem tartrate at doses up to 10 mg, the most commonly observed adverse reactions associated with the use of zolpidem and seen at statistically significant differences from placebo-treated patients were drowsiness (reported by 2% of zolpidem patients), dizziness (1%), and diarrhea (1%). During longer-term treatment (28 to 35 nights) with zolpidem tartrate at doses up to 10 mg, the most commonly observed adverse reactions associated with the use of zolpidem and seen at statistically significant differences from placebo-treated patients were dizziness (5%) and drugged feelings (3%).
Adverse reactions observed at an incidence of ≥ 1% in controlled trials
The following tables enumerate treatment-emergent adverse reactions frequencies that were observed at an incidence equal to 1% or greater among patients with insomnia who received zolpidem tartrate and at a greater incidence than placebo in U.S. placebo-controlled trials. Events reported by investigators were classified utilizing a modified World Health Organization (WHO) dictionary of preferred terms for the purpose of establishing event frequencies. The prescriber should be aware that these figures cannot be used to predict the incidence of side effects in the course of usual medical practice, in which patient characteristics and other factors differ from those that prevailed in these clinical trials. Similarly, the cited frequencies cannot be compared with figures obtained from other clinical investigators involving related drug products and uses, since each group of drug trials is conducted under a different set of conditions. However, the cited figures provide the physician with a basis for estimating the relative contribution of drug and nondrug factors to the incidence of side effects in the population studied.
The following table was derived from results of 11 placebo-controlled short-term U.S. efficacy trials involving zolpidem in doses ranging from 1.25 to 20 mg. The table is limited to data from doses up to and including 10 mg, the highest dose recommended for use.

Dose relationship for adverse reactions
There is evidence from dose comparison trials suggesting a dose relationship for many of the adverse reactions associated with zolpidem tartrate use, particularly for certain CNS and gastrointestinal adverse reactions.
Oral tissue-related adverse reactions in Zodorm (zolpidem tartrate oral spray) pharmacokinetics studies
The effect of chronic daily administrations of Zodorm (zolpidem tartrate oral spray) on oral tissue has not been evaluated. In pharmacokinetic studies conducted with Zodorm (zolpidem tartrate oral spray) in healthy subjects, an oral soft tissue exam was performed and no signs of oral irritation were noted following administration of single doses of Zodorm (zolpidem tartrate oral spray).
Adverse event incidence across the entire preapproval database

Фармакологическое действие
Золпидем представляет собой снотворное средство, относящееся к группе имидазопиридинов, и является селективным агонистом подкласса омега1-бензодиазепиновых рецепторов. Оказывает седативное действие, при этом при применении в обычных дозах не оказывает анксиолитического, центрального миорелаксирующего и противосудорожного действия. Возбуждает бензодиазепиновые рецепторы (омега) в альфа-субъединице ГАМК-рецепторных комплексов, локализованных в области IV пластинки сенсорно-моторных зон коры, ретикулярных отделов черной субстанции, зрительных бугров вентрального таламического комплекса, моста, бледного шара и др. Взаимодействие с омега-рецепторами приводит к открытию нейрональных ионоформных каналов для ионов хлора.
Укорачивает время засыпания, уменьшает число ночных пробуждений, увеличивает общую продолжительность сна и улучшает его качество. Удлиняет II стадию сна и стадии глубокого сна (III и IV). Не вызывает сонливости в течение дня.
Фармакокинетика
Золпидем быстро абсорбируется из ЖКТ. Время достижения Cmax в плазме крови после приема внутрь составляет 0.5-3 ч. Биодоступность — 70%, связывание с белками плазмы — 92%. Существует линейная зависимость между величиной дозы препарата и его концентрациями в плазме. Метаболизируется в печени с образованием трех неактивных метаболитов, которые выводятся почками (56%) и через кишечник (37%). Средний T1/2 составляет 2.4 ч. Vd — 0.5±0.02 л/кг. Не индуцирует ферменты печени. У лиц пожилого возраста клиренс в плазме крови может снижаться без существенного увеличения T1/2 (в среднем 3 ч), при этом Cmax увеличивается на 50%. У больных с выраженными нарушениями функции почек клиренс увеличивается незначительно. У больных с нарушениями функции печени биодоступность увеличивается, T1/2 возрастает до 10 ч. Выделяется в небольших количествах с грудным молоком.
Показания препарата
Золпидем
- нарушения сна: затрудненное засыпание, ранние и ночные пробуждения.

У пожилых пациентов могут возникать психические и поведенческие (в т.ч. парадоксальные) реакции. При возникновении таких реакций прием золпидема должен быть прекращен
У пожилых пациентов или с нарушением функции печени возможно значительное увеличение T1/2 золпидема, что может приводить к кумуляции препарата при его повторном приеме.
При применении золпидема у лиц пожилого возраста необходимо соблюдать осторожность, в связи с риском развития выраженного седативного и/или миорелаксирующего эффектов.
Особые указания
Сохранение бессонницы в течение 7-14 дней лечения указывает на наличие первичных психических расстройств и/или нарушений со стороны нервной системы. Поэтому для выявления этих нарушений необходимо регулярно проводить переоценку состояния пациента.
Для снижения риска развития антероградной амнезии пациенты должны иметь условия для непрерывного 7-8-часового сна.
При применении золпидема могут возникать психические и поведенческие (в т.ч. парадоксальные) реакции (риск развития выше у пожилых пациентов). При возникновении таких реакций прием золпидема должен быть прекращен. После курсового приема в течение нескольких недель возможно некоторое снижение седативного и снотворного эффектов золпидема.
Применение золпидема (особенно продолжительное) может вести к формированию физической и/или психической зависимости, риск возникновения которой повышается при увеличении дозы и продолжительности лечения, а также у пациентов с наличием в анамнезе злоупотребления алкоголем или другими лекарственными средствами и нелекарственными веществами. Такие пациенты в период лечения должны находиться под тщательным наблюдением. Тем не менее, зависимость (крайне редко) может возникать и при применении терапевтических доз и/или у пациентов без индивидуальных факторов риска.
Комбинация золпидема с бензодиазепинами повышает риск развития лекарственной зависимости.
У пожилых пациентов или с нарушением функции печени возможно значительное увеличение T1/2 золпидема, что может приводить к кумуляции препарата при его повторном приеме. Исходя из особенностей фармакокинетики золпидема, при ХПН кумуляции препарата не ожидается.
При применении золпидема у лиц пожилого возраста необходимо соблюдать осторожность, в связи с риском развития выраженного седативного и/или миорелаксирующего эффектов.
Влияние на способность к управлению транспортными средствами и механизмами
В период лечения следует воздерживаться от занятий потенциально опасными видами деятельности, требующими повышенной концентрации внимания (вождение автомобиля, работа с механизмами) и быстроты психомоторных реакций.
Передозировка
Симптомы: нарушение сознания (от спутанности сознания и заторможенности до комы), атаксия, снижение артериального давления, угнетение дыхания.
Лечение: индукция рвоты в течение 1 ч после передозировки, активированный уголь, если после передозировки прошло более 1 ч (при сохраненном сознании -внутрь, при бессознательном — через зонд), промывание желудка, симптоматическая терапия. В качестве антидота рекомендуется флумазенил (антагонист бензодиазепиновых рецепторов), однако следует помнить, что антагонизм с бензодиазепиновыми рецепторами может приводить к развитию судорог, особенно у пациентов с эпилепсией. Диализ малоэффективен.
Лекарственное взаимодействие
Не рекомендуемые комбинации: этанол усиливает седативное действие золпидема.
Комбинации, требующие осторожности при применении:
- препараты, угнетающие ЦНС (нейролептики, барбитураты, другие снотворные, анксиолитики/седативные, антидепрессанты с седативным действием, наркотические анальгетики, противокашлевые центрального действия), противоэпилептические, препараты для общей анестезии, антигистаминные с седативным эффектом, гипотензивные центрального действия; баклофен; талидомид; пизотифен — усиление угнетающего действия на ЦНС и риск угнетения дыхания;
- бупренорфин — риск угнетения дыхания;
- кетоконазол (мощный ингибитор CYP3A4) в дозе 200 мг 2 раза/сут увеличивает T1/2, AUC и снижает клиренс золпидема (возможно усиление седативного действия золпидема);
- итраконазол (ингибитор CYP3A4) — незначительное, клинически незначимое изменение фармакокинетики и фармакодинамики золпидема.
Взаимодействия, которые следует принимать во внимание:
- рифампицин (индуктор CYP3A4) — ускоряет метаболизм, снижает концентрацию и, как следствие, эффективность золпидема.

Zodorm
Zodorm is an imidazopyridine derivative that acts by binding to the benzodiazepine (BZD) receptors of the GABA receptor complex resulting in neuronal hyperpolarisation, action potential inhibition, increased in chloride conductance and decreased in neuronal excitability. It has strong sedative action but only minimal anxiolytic, myorelaxant and anticonvulsant properties due to its selectivity for the BZ1-receptor over the BZ2-receptor. Zodorm has a rapid onset but short duration of hypnotic action.
Effects on the central nervous system (CNS)
This drug has CNS depressant effects, which may include somnolence, decreased alertness, sedation, drowsiness, dizziness, and other changes in psychomotor function . Due to the above effects, the FDA has recommended an initial dose of zolpidem (immediate-acting) is a single dose of 5 mg for women and a single dose of 5 or 10 mg for men, immediately before bedtime with at least 7-8 hours remaining before the planned time of awakening . Refer to product labeling for detailed information , .
Effects on memory
Uses
Zodorm is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep initiation. Zodorm has been shown to decrease sleep latency for up to 35 days in controlled clinical studies The clinical trials performed in support of efficacy were 4-5 weeks in duration with the final formal assessments of sleep latency performed at the end of treatment.
Zodorm is also used to associated treatment for these conditions:
Insomnia
How Zodorm works
Zodorm, the active moiety of zolpidem tartrate, is a hypnotic substance with a chemical structure that is not related to the structure benzodiazepines, barbiturates, pyrrolopyrazines, pyrazolopyrimidines or other drugs exerting hypnotic effects. It interacts with a GABA-BZ receptor complex and shares various pharmacological properties with the benzodiazepine class of drugs .
Subunit binding of the GABAA receptor chloride channel macromolecular complex is thought to lead to the sedative, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, and myorelaxant drug effects of zolpidem. The main regulatory site of the GABAA receptor complex can be found on its alpha (α) subunit and is called the benzodiazepine (BZ) or omega (ω) receptor. At least three different subtypes of the (ω) receptor have been identified to this date .
In contrast to benzodiazepine drugs, which are found to modulate all benzodiazepine receptor subtypes in a non-selective fashion, zolpidem binds the (BZ1) receptor specifically with a potent affinity for the alpha 1/alpha 5 subunits (in vitro) . More recent studies suggest that zolpidem binds primarily to the alpha 1, 2, and 3 subunits of the GABA receptor , , , and not the alpha 5 subunit.
The (BZ1) receptor is found primarily on the Lamina IV of the brain sensorimotor cortical regions, substantia nigra (pars reticulata), cerebellum molecular layer, olfactory bulb, ventral thalamic complex, pons, inferior colliculus, and globus pallidus. Specific and selective binding of zolpidem on the (BZ1) receptor is not considered absolute, however, this binding could potentially explain the relative lack of myorelaxant and anticonvulsant activity in animal studies in addition to the preservation of deep sleep (stages 3 and 4) in human studies of zolpidem at hypnotic doses .

Dosage
Zodorm dosage
Dosage In Adults: Use the lowest effective dose for the patient. The recommended initial dose is 5 mg for women and either 5 or 10 mg for men, taken only once per night immediately before bedtime with at least 7–8 hours remaining before the planned time of awakening. If the 5 mg dose is not effective, the dose can be increased to 10 mg. In some patients, the higher morning blood levels following use of the 10 mg dose increase the risk of next day impairment of driving and other activities that require full alertness. The total dose of Zodorm should not exceed 10 mg once daily immediately before bedtime. Zodorm should be taken as a single dose and should not be readministered during the same night.The recommended initial doses for women and men are different because zolpidem clearance is lower in women.Special Populations: Elderly or debilitated patients may be especially sensitive to the effects of zolpidem tartrate. The recommended dose of Zodorm in these patients is 5 mg once daily immediately before bedtimePatients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment do not clear the drug as rapidly as normal subjects. The recommended dose of Zodorm in these patients is 5 mg once daily immediately before bedtime. Avoid Zodorm use in patients with severe hepatic impairment as it may contribute to encephalopathyUse With CNS Depressants: Dosage adjustment may be necessary when Zodorm is combined with other CNS depressant drugs because of the potentially additive effects
The effect of Zodorm may be slowed by ingestion with or immediately after a meal.
Side Effects
Atypical thinking and behaviour, hallucination, nightmare, somnolence, somnambulism, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, vertigo, drowsiness, asthenia, ataxia, rebound insomnia, amnesia, GI disturbances, upper and lower respiratory tract infection, fatigue, visual disturbances, increased ALT serum concentrations, abnormal LFT.
Toxicity
Oral (male rat) LD50 = 695 mg/kg .
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose include impairment of consciousness ranging from somnolence to light coma, in addition to cardiorespiratory collapse resulting in fatal outcomes have been reported .
Withdrawal effects
Following rapid decreases in dose or abrupt discontinuation of zolpidem and other sedative/hypnotics, reports of signs and symptoms similar to those associated with withdrawal from other CNS-depressant drugs have been made .
Carcinogenesis
Zodorm was administered to rats and mice over a span of 2 years at dietary dosages of 4, 18, and 80 mg/kg/day. In mice, these doses are considered 26 to 520 times or 2 to 35 times the maximum 10 mg human dose, respectively. In rats, these doses are 43 to 876 times or 6 to 115 times the maximum 10 mg human dose. No evidence of carcinogenicity was seen in mice. Renal liposarcomas were observed in 4/100 rats (3 males, 1 female) receiving 80 mg/kg/day, and a renal lipoma was observed in one male rat at the 18 mg/kg/day dose. Incidence rates of lipoma and liposarcoma for zolpidem were similar to those seen in historical control cases, and the tumor findings are presumed to be a spontaneous occurrence, not causally related to zolpidem .
Mutagenesis
Zodorm did not show mutagenic activity in several tests including the Ames test, genotoxicity in mouse lymphoma cells in vitro, chromosomal aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes, abnormal DNA synthesis in rat hepatocytes in vitro, and the micronucleus test performed in mice .
Impairment of fertility
In a rat reproduction study, the high dose (100 mg base/kg) of zolpidem lead to irregular estrus cycles and prolonged precoital intervals, however, there was no effect on male or female fertility after daily oral doses comparable to 5 to 130 times the recommended human dose. No effects on any other fertility parameters were observed .
Use in pregnancy
This drug is considered a pregnancy category C drug. There are currently no sufficient conclusive studies completed in pregnant women to determine the safety of zolpidem use during pregnancy. Zodorm should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.
Use in nursing
From 0.004% to 0.019% of the total administered zolpidem dose is excreted into milk. The effect of zolpidem on the nursing infant is unknown at this time. Caution should be observed when zolpidem is administered to a nursing mother .
Precaution
Obstructive sleep apnoea, myasthenia gravis, compromised respiratory function. Patients exhibiting symptoms of depression. History of drug or alcohol abuse. Avoid abrupt withdrawal and rapid dose reduction after prolonged therapy. Re-evaluate if insomnia fail to remit after 7-10 days as this may indicate the presence of underlying psychiatric and/or medical condition. Pregnancy, lactation, childn <18 yr.
Interaction
Co-administration of zolpidem with other CNS depressants increases the risk of CNS depression. Concomitant use of zolpidem with these drugs may increase drowsiness and psychomotor impairment, including impaired driving ability. Zodorm tartrate was evaluated in healthy volunteers in single-dose interaction studies for several CNS drugs.Imipramine, Chlorpromazine: Imipramine in combination with zolpidem produced no pharmacokinetic interaction other than a 20% decrease in peak levels of imipramine, but there was an additive effect of decreased alertness. Similarly, chlorpromazine in combination with zolpidem produced no pharmacokinetic interaction, but there was an additive effect of decreased alertness and psychomotor performance Haloperidol: A study involving haloperidol and zolpidem revealed no effect of haloperidol on the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of zolpidem. The lack of a drug interaction following single-dose administration does not predict the absence of an effect following chronic administration Alcohol: An additive adverse effect on psychomotor performance between alcohol and oral zolpidem was demonstrated Sertraline: Concomitant administration of zolpidem and sertraline increases exposure to zolpidemFluoxetine: After multiple doses of zolpidem tartrate and fluoxetine an increase in the zolpidem half-life (17%) was observed. There was no evidence of an additive effect in psychomotor performance
Food Interaction
- Avoid alcohol.
- Take separate from meals. This drug should not be administered with or immediately after a meal.
[Moderate] GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of zolpidem.
Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and
ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration of zolpidem with food may delay the onset of hypnotic effects.
In 30 healthy subjects, administration of zolpidem 20 minutes after a meal resulted in decreased mean peak plasma drug concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) by 25% and 15%, respectively, compared to fasting.
The time to reach peak plasma drug concentration (Tmax) was prolonged by 60%, from 1.4 to 2.2 hours.
MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving zolpidem should be advised to avoid the consumption of alcohol.
For faster sleep onset, zolpidem should not be administered with or immediately after a meal.
Zodorm Drug Interaction
Major: acetaminophen / hydrocodoneModerate: diphenhydramine, duloxetine, escitalopram, pregabalin, metoprolol, metoprolol, alprazolam, cetirizineUnknown: amphetamine / dextroamphetamine, aspirin, rosuvastatin, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, esomeprazole, albuterol, levothyroxine, acetaminophen, cyanocobalamin, ascorbic acid, cholecalciferol
Volume of Distribution
0.54 to 0.68 L/kg (in humans) . In patients with long term renal insufficiency who were not yet on hemodialysis, the volume of distribution was found to increase significantly, AUC increased by 60%, and half-life nearly doubled .
Elimination Route
Zodorm is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. In a single-dose crossover study in 45 healthy subjects given 5 and 10 mg zolpidem tartrate tablets, the average peak zolpidem concentrations (Cmax) were 59 and 121 ng/mL, respectively, occurring at a mean time (Tmax) of 1.6 hours for both doses .
Half Life
The average zolpidem elimination half-life was 2.6 and 2.5 hours, for the 5 and 10 mg tablets, respectively .
Clearance
In a clinical trial, after a 20mg dose, total clearance of zolpidem 0.24 to 0.27 ml/min/kg .
Elimination Route
Zodorm tartrate tablets are converted to inactive metabolites that are eliminated mainly by renal excretion .
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use
Pregnancy Category C. Either studies in animals have revealed adverse effects on the foetus (teratogenic or embryocidal or other) and there are no controlled studies in women or studies in women and animals are not available. Drugs should be given only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the foetus.
Contraindication
Severe hepatic impairment.
Special Warning
Pediatric Use: Zodorm is not recommended for use in children. Safety and effectiveness of zolpidem in pediatric patients below the age of 18 years have not been established.
Acute Overdose
Symptoms: Drowsiness, impairment of consciousness from somnolence to coma, compromised CV and respiratory function. Management: Treatment is largely symptomatic and supportive. IV fluids should be administered as needed. Activated charcoal may be given if presented w/in 1 hr of ingestion of >1 mg/kg zolpidem in adults or childn. Gastric lavage may be considered if presented w/in 1 hr of ingestion of >100 mg zolpidem and monitor for at least 12 hr. Flumazenil may be used if there is severe CNS depression, but generally not needed. Haemodialysis is unlikely to be useful.
Storage Condition
Store between 20-25° C.
