IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
AMBIEN CR is a treatment option you and your healthcare provider can consider along with lifestyle
changes and can be taken for as long as your provider recommends. Until you know how
AMBIEN CR will affect you, you shouldn't drive or operate machinery. Be sure you're
able to devote 7 to 8 hours to sleep before being active again. Sleepwalking, and
eating or driving while not fully awake, with amnesia for the event, have been reported.
If you experience any of these behaviors contact your provider immediately. In rare
cases, sleep medicines may cause allergic reactions such as swelling of your tongue or
throat, shortness of breath or more severe results. If you have an allergic reaction
while using AMBIEN CR, contact your doctor immediately. Side effects may include
next-day drowsiness, dizziness, and headache. It's non-narcotic; however, like most
sleep medicines, it has some risk of dependency. Don't take it with alcohol.
