It's a dual-layer tablet that works in two distinct ways:

1. The first layer dissolves quickly, to help you get to sleep fast.

2. The second layer dissolves slowly, to help you stay asleep.

AMBIEN CR works with a natural brain chemical called GABA- one of many major brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters.

It’s believed GABA dampens electrical activity in neighboring brain cells. It is thought that AMBIEN CR works with GABA to reduce electrical activity in select brain cells.

AMBIEN CR is not chemically related to older sleep drugs that affect GABA.

Laboratory studies show AMBIEN CR targets a specific area of the GABA recepter, unlike the older drugs which are non-selective. The result may be fewer side effects.

When taken as prescribed, AMBIEN CR may give you the good night's sleep your mind and body require.
