Which companies manufacture zolpidem?
Zolpidem is an active ingredient sold under multiple brand and generic versions in different countries. The manufacturers you’ll see can vary based on the specific product strength (IR vs. ER) and your location.
How to find the exact manufacturer for the zolpidem product you want
The most reliable way to identify the manufacturer is to check the specific product label (brand name and dosage form) on the package or the pharmacy listing you’re using. Different makers can produce different zolpidem strengths or formulations even when the active ingredient is the same.

What I need to list the right manufacturers
“Zolpidem manufacturers” can mean different things (brand makers vs. generic makers; immediate-release vs. extended-release; and which country you’re in). If you share:
- your country (e.g., US, UK, Canada, EU),
- the brand name (if any), and
- the form (immediate-release/tablet like Ambien vs. extended-release like Ambien CR, or generic equivalents),
I can narrow it down to the manufacturers that apply to that exact product.
Common follow-up: are brand and generic made by different companies?
Yes. Brand-name products are typically made by the company that holds the original marketing authorization, while generics are made by multiple different manufacturers once approved and available in the market. The manufacturer can therefore change across refill fills and across strengths.
