Buy Belbien (zolpidem) Online
Belbien is the brand name for Zolpidem. Zolpidem is a non-benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotic for the short-term treatment of insomnia .Although chemically unrelated to other hypnotics such as the benzodiazepines or barbiturates; Zolpidem does share some pharmacological actions with these drugs. Unlike the benzodiazepines, Zolpidem produces muscle relaxation and anticonvulsant effects only at doses much higher than the hypnotic dose. Zolpidem has a short half-life and no active metabolites. Therefore, a next-day ‘‘hangover’’ effect and CNS depression are less for Zolpidem that the barbiturates. It acts on the CNS and produces sedation, sleep, and inhibition of anxiety. It is also used for involuntary muscle spasms and seizures. It is also sometimes used for restless legs syndrome.
Common side effects are drowsiness ,tiredness, headache, dizziness ,lightheadedness ,’drugged feeling, unsteady walking, difficulty keeping balance, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, gas, heartburn, stomach pain or tenderness,changes in appetite agitation, sleepiness, and lack of coordination. Prolonged use of this can cause tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal effects if stopped abruptly. It should not be used in pregnancy and lactation as it can cause harmful side effects or taken with caution.
History
Zolpidem was first used in Europe in 1988, and Synthelabo was the company that brought it to market. Synthelabo and Searle worked together to bring it to market in the United States, and it was approved in 1992 under the brand name “Ambien.” In 2007, it was made available as a generic medicine.
The American Geriatrics Society stated in 2015 that zolpidem, eszopiclone, and zaleplon matched the Beers criteria and should be avoided in people aged 65 and up “because of their link to hazards compared with their poor efficacy in treating insomnia.’’
The strength of the advice that older persons avoid zolpidem is “strong,” according to the AGS, and the quality of the evidence is “high.”
However, with time it came to attention that due to its high efficacy, it can be abused. The study named “misuse of zolpidem” favors the potential of abuse and dependence of zolpidem and emphasizes reinforcement of monitoring for this medication. This medication is categorized as SCHEDULE IV by the Drug Enforcement Authority (DEA), which means it is a controlled substance but is comparatively less addictive. This data needs to be transferred to health professionals.
Before you go ahead and buy Belbien online there are many factors one needs consider before making such a decision. This study has been designed to help you make an informed decision.
Uses of Belbien
Belbien is primarily for sleep disorders. It is used for short term but not for long term as it can disturb REM sleep.
Sleep Disorder
Zolpidem mainly produces hypnotic effect-decreases sleep latency and increases duration of sleep time in insomnia. It produces near-normal sleep like benzodiazepines with minimal alteration in REM sleep; causes minimal hangover effects and rebound insomnia; less likely to produce tolerance and drug dependence; lacks anticonvulsant, anti-anxiety and muscle relaxant effects.
Anti-anxiety:
Belbien (Zolpidem) is used for anxiety-related insomnia but its use as an anti-anxiety treatment is not proven.
How to take Belbien
Oral (Tablets and liquid form)
- Intravenous (IV)
- Intramuscular (IM)
- Sublingual
The recommended adult dose of belbien is 10 mg as conventional tablets or spray or 12.5 mg as extended-release tablets.
Belbien v/s Valium:
Belbien is zolpidem and Valium is diazepam. Both belongs to different groups. Belbien is no benzodiazepine hypnotic and diazepam is a benzodiazepine.
Belbien is used for the treatment of insomnia but valium has multiple uses in addition to sleep disorders. According to a research, efficacy of belbien is much more than valium for insomnia treat.
Belbien produces near-normal sleep like valium with minimal alteration in REM sleep; causes minimal hangover effects and rebound insomnia; less likely to produce tolerance and drug dependence; lacks anticonvulsant, anti-anxiety and muscle relaxant effects.
Belbien v/s Limovan:
Belbien is zolpidem and Limovan is zopiclone. Both are used for the short term treatment of insomnia. Belbien decreases sleep latency and increases duration of sleep time in insomnia but in high doses, inhibits the REM sleep. Limovan produces near normal sleep like benzodiazepines hence are more addictive.
Lunesta is longer acting. It may be more effective in helping you stay asleep than the immediate-release form of belbien.
According to a double blind comparative study of zolipdem and zopiclone , Belbien showed significantly less rebound on discontinuation and was better tolerated.
Belbien v/Zaleplon:
It is similar to the Zolpidem and selectively stimulates BZ1 receptors. Zaleplon causes rapid onset of sleep and belbien causes inhibition of REM sleep .Amnesia and impairment of psychomotor activity is less as compared to benzodiazepines. Dependence and tolerance has not been reported with zaleplon.
Belbien vs melatonin :
Both are used for insomnia. According to a comparative study, both melatonin and belbien were well tolerated with dizziness and headache as the only reported adverse effect. Melatonin demonstrated no significant difference in effective disturbance and adverse effects as compared to Zolpidem. Melatonin cause no dependence as compared to Zolpidem.
These are due to the extension of its pharmacological actions. It affects different systems:
Sedation and amnesia:
Belbien is a sedative hypnotic reduces CNS functions, including memory. Anterograde amnesia is dose dependent. Following can occur:
- Asthenia (a chronic medical condition in which person is unable to move certain body parts)
- Fatigue
- Ataxia (a movement disorder in which there is lack of inability to coordinate)
- Impairment of concentration
- Somnolence
Cognitive Functions:
The benzodiazepines and benzodiazepine-like agents affect mental efficiency, e.g., concentration, attention and vigilance. The risk of confusion is greater in the elderly and in patients with cerebral impairment.
Anxiety, restlessness:
An increase in daytime anxiety and/or restlessness has been observed during treatment with Belbien. This may be a manifestation of interpose withdrawal, due to the short elimination half-life of the drug.
Complex sleep behaviors:
Complex sleep behaviors have been recorded in some patients taking BELBIEN. Complex sleep behavior includes:
- sleep-walking,
- sleep-driving
- Engaging in other activities while not fully awake.
- preparing and eating food, making phone calls, or having sex
These practices may happen following the first or any subsequent utilization of Belbien. Patients can be truly harmed or harm others during complex sleep behaviors. Such harms might be deadly. Patients normally don't recollect these occasions. Post marketing reports have shown that complex sleep behaviors may happen with Belbien at suggested dosages, with or without the accompanying utilization of liquor or other focal sensory systems (CNS) depressants (see DRUG INTERACTIONS). Stop taking Belbien quickly if a patient encounters any such behaviors.
Drug dependence and withdrawal::
When used for prolonged period of time, Belbien can cause dependence. In such cases, withdrawal effects can occur when drug is suddenly stopped. Withdrawal symptoms, similar in character to those noted with barbiturates and alcohol, include:
- convulsions
- tremor
- abdominal and
- muscle cramp
- vomiting
- sweating
- dysphoria
- perceptual disturbances
- insomnia
- Rebound insomnia (A transient syndrome, whereby the symptoms that led to treatment with a sedative/hypnotic agent may recur in an enhanced form, upon treatment withdrawal. It may be accompanied by other reactions, including mood changes, anxiety and restlessness.)
Tolerance:
Tolerance can occur with chronic use of Belbien tolerance is the decrease in the responsiveness, occurs when drugs are used chronically. Thus to maintain the pharmacological action of the drug, dose of the drug have to be increased with the passage of time. Long term use of benzodiazepines for insomnia is not recommended
Gastrointestinal effects:
Following gastrointestinal effects can occur:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Increase salivation that can cause respiratory difficulty.
- Diarrhea
- Dyspepsia; hepatitis
Kidney/genitourinary:
Rarely, acute interstitial nephritis can occur.
Respiratory:
- Increase in viral infections.
- Dyspnea
Dermatologic effects:
- Rash
- Urticaria
- Spots on skin

Belbien has worked wonders for me. Good Quality and Quick Delivery!!
Sometimes I am up for days consecutively, and other times I'll sleep for 20 hours straight. My obvious goal is to get to a regular sleep schedule to work and function properly. This medication Belbien has been like a godsend. I can go right to sleep and get a standard 6-9 hours of sleep time.
I have been taking Belbien for the past year for insomnia. I have a racing mind and cannot fall asleep. Belbien gives me 6-7 hrs of sleep. It works within 30 minutes.
