Risks to Ambien, a Popular, Yet Dangerous Drug.
Get attorney resources and news about current lawsuits

Since its FDA approval in 1992, millions of sleep-challenged Americans have trusted the drug Ambien (chemical name: zolpidem tartrate), produced by Sanofi-Aventis. In 2004, 24 million prescriptions were written, according to the Internet Drug Index. Now, however, many people are filing lawsuits over Ambien.

Given Ambien's popularity, it is vital that consumers know that the sedative-hypnotic drug carries with it health risks, including severe allergic reactions, and life-threatening behavior such as sleep-walking and sleep-driving. If you have experienced this behavior, and suffered an injury, we may be able to help you.
