Most insomniacs have surely tried out the various sleeping pills that they intake to help them sleep. Ambien, a sleep aid has been known to provide some sort of help for the insomnia-riddled people and it seems that there is a new type of sleep-enhancing product, an oral spray called Zolpimist from Nova Del Pharma Inc., which was recently granted approval for its supposed short-term treatment to the people suffering from insomnia.

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.
