Edluar
Edluar (generic name: zolpidem tartrate) is a sedative-hypnotic medication used to treat insomnia. It helps patients fall asleep faster by enhancing the activity of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and sleep. Edluar is a sublingual tablet, meaning it dissolves under the tongue for quick absorption, allowing for faster onset of sleep compared to oral zolpidem formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast does Edluar work?
Edluar works within 15-30 minutes, as it is rapidly absorbed through the sublingual route.

Can I drive the next day after taking Edluar?
