The dose of Intermezzo is 1.75 mg for women and 3.5 mg for men. The reason for the different doses is due to the slower clearance rate in women. The standard dose of Ambien for sleep is 5-10 mg each night.

The new sleeping pill should help out people who wake up in the middle of the night and have a hard time going back to sleep. It has already been evaluated via two clinical trials and was reportedly proven to be effective. However there are side effects and these include headaches, nausea and fatigue.

Be warned as well that Intermezzo should not be taken along with other medications. Further, it should not be combined with alcohol too.

In case you get the chance to come across it, be guided that you will need prescription to get one. And lastly, if ever you do try it out, do make sure you don’t grow dependent on it. One pill reportedly costs between $2 to $3, a bit expensive for people who may be planning to try it out.

How does this oral spray work?

Zolpimist is an oral spray that contains zolpidem tartrate, the same active ingredient found in the widely used prescription sleep aid Ambien. The substance is absorbed through the oral mucosa directly into systemic circulation. According to NovaDel, the most commonly observed side effects in clinical trials were headache, sleepiness and dizziness.

So if you are tired of the usual sleeping aids and pills, this can be a good alternative that will be worth trying out. You can get more information at their website here.
