new recommendations to use lower doses of zolpidem (Ambien, etc) for women

You'll see new recommendations to use lower doses of zolpidem (Ambien, etc) for women.

FDA will require this new gender-specific dosing for all zolpidem products...not just Intermezzo.

Zolpidem is metabolized more slowly in women than in men...leading to blood levels that are almost twice as high in women.
