Stilnoct contains a medicine called zolpidem

sleep problems in adults such as:
• Difficulty falling asleep
• Waking in the middle of the night
• Waking too early
Your doctor will identify your sleep problem
wherever possible and the underlying factors
before prescribing this medicine for you.
The failure of your sleep problems to stop after a
7-14 day course of treatment may indicate you
have an underlying disorder, your doctor will
assess you at regular intervals.
Stilnoct is used for short-term treatment of
insomnia in adults. Do not use long-term.
Treatment should be as short as possible,
because the risk of dependence increases with
the duration of treatment. Ask your doctor for
advice if you are unsure.
