Ambien is typically available in tablet form for oral administration. The dosage and timing of the medication are determined by a healthcare professional based on an individual's specific sleep problems. It is usually taken just before bedtime and should
be swallowed whole, not crushed or chewed.
Ambien works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a chemical that helps to regulate brain activity, and by increasing its activity, Ambien can produce a calming and sleep-inducing
effect.
