Common Side Effects
Zolpidem oral spray has been studied extensively in clinical trials. In these studies, side effects occurring in the group of people taking
zolpidem oral spray were documented and compared to the side effects that occurred in a similar group of people taking a placebo (a spray with no active ingredients).
Based on these studies, the most common bothersome (but usually not dangerous) side effects included:
- Drowsiness -- in up to 8 percent of people
- Headaches -- up to 7 percent
- Dizziness -- up to 5 percent
- Sinus infection or irritation -- up to 4 percent.
Other common side effects (occurring in 1 to 3 percent of people) included:
- Dry mouth
- Back pain
- Lethargy
- A drugged feeling
- Flu-like symptoms (such as a fever or chills)
- Lightheadedness
- Abnormal dreams
- Sleeping problems
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Sore throat.
Other Possible Side Effects
Some side effects of zolpidem oral spray were reported only rarely or were reported in studies that did not use a placebo (making it difficult to know for sure if the potential side effect was truly related to the medication).
These other possible zolpidem oral spray side effects included (but were not limited to):
