Zolpidem Bottle Quantity
Zolpidem tartrate 10 mg tablets are supplied in bottles of 30,60, or 90 tablets 1.
Available Packaging Options
According to FDA labeling, zolpidem tartrate 10 mg tablets come in three standard bottle sizes 1:
- 30 tablets per bottle (NDC: 80425-0061-01)
- 60 tablets per bottle (NDC: 80425-0061-02)
- 90 tablets per bottle (NDC: 80425-0061-03)
Clinical Context
The specific bottle size dispensed typically depends on:
- Prescriber's instructions - The quantity written on the prescription
- Insurance coverage - Many plans limit initial fills to 30-day supplies
- Pharmacy policy - Some pharmacies stock specific bottle sizes
- Duration of therapy - Short-term use (recommended) versus longer-term prescriptions
Important Prescribing Considerations
While the question asks about bottle quantities, it's worth noting that zolpidem should be prescribed for short-term use only 2. Clinical guidelines recommend against routine long-term prescribing, though approximately 20% of new users continue for at least 180 days 3. The 30-tablet bottle size aligns with appropriate short-term insomnia treatment duration.
The FDA-recommended dosing differs by sex: 5 mg for women and 10 mg for men for immediate-release formulations 4, 1. This sex-specific dosing should influence both the strength prescribed and the quantity dispensed.
