How Zolpidem Helps Comatose Patients
When you hear that Zolpidem is a sleeping aid, it seems a bit confusing that it can be used to achieve the opposite in comatose patients. The secret behind this is a result of the brain anomalies that occur during a coma. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an amino acid with an inhibitive neurotransmitter function. Therefore, it naturally decreases brain activity by blocking some signals. GABA has an opposite effect in those who are comatose, and Zolpidem stimulates the neurotransmitter.

The Wait Begins
Dr. Nel crushed the Zolpidem tablet at 1:56 PM, which was given to Dianne. With the treatment administered, the family could only hope to see better brain function in Dianne. Though feelings of excitement and hope were highly present, Zolpidem is not a drug that takes a very long time to start working. However, it felt as if it were time to play the waiting game. All the family had to do was exercise patience for about 20 minutes more.
