Belbien 10mg is a prescription medication containing zolpidem tartrate 10 mg, which is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia in adults. Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early and being unable to return to sleep.
Belbien belongs to a class of medicines known as sedative-hypnotics. It is intended to help people who have significant sleep-onset difficulties when non-medication approaches alone are not sufficient.
Because zolpidem acts quickly, Belbien should only be taken immediately before going to bed and only when you can remain asleep for a full night's sleep (typically 7–8 hours).
