Do You Lack Sleep?
If left untreated, insomnia may develop into
a chronic condition. So, if you haven't been
getting the sleep your mind and body need,
make an appointment with your doctor today,
and ask about your options.
Is there anything
important that my healthcare provider should
know before AMBIEN is prescribed for me?
Some conditions may affect how you take AMBIEN.
Be sure to tell your doctor if:
- You drink alcohol
- You have a history of alcohol or drug
dependency
- You are pregnant or breast-feeding
- You have any breathing difficulties,
such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema
You have a history of heavy snoring
- You are suffering from depression
- You have kidney or liver disease
You may not be able to take AMBIEN, or you
may require a lower dose or special monitoring
during treatment if you have any of the conditions
listed above.
Do not take Ambien without first talking to
your doctor if you are pregnant or could become
pregnant during treatment, or if you are breast-feeding
a baby.
If you are over 60 years of age, you may be
more likely to experience side effects from
Ambien. You may require a lower dose of this
medication to decrease the possibility of
side effects.
Ambien is not approved by the FDA for use
by children younger than 18 years of age. |
