No Recollection Of Events After Intake Of Zolfresh Tablets. Side Effects?
My mom, 50 years of age, has been using Zolfresh 10mg (1 tablet per night). I have seen that if I talk to her an hour after she has had the tablet, she has not recollection of the same the next day. Slightly worried and wanted to find out what are the side effects of usage of this tablet? Can this tablet cause Alzheimer's disease?

hello
As you have said your mom is taking zolfresh(zolpidem) every night for a good night sleep
zolfresh is famous for anterograde amnesia, meaning after taking the medicine you wont remember what happened the time you wake up
Its not alzheimer , dont worry , that why we use these medicines before doing complicated tests on patients, so that they dont remember it
hope this relieves your tension
take care
