Who currently makes zolpidem (brand and generic manufacturers)?
Zolpidem is sold in multiple countries under brands such as Ambien and generic equivalents. The exact manufacturers vary by country, formulation (immediate-release vs extended-release), dosage strength, and whether you are looking for the brand-name product or the generic version.
The most reliable way to identify the current manufacturers in your market is to check the specific product’s label and the “manufactured for” / “distributed by” lines, or the local drug listing in your country’s regulator (these sources list the current marketing authorization holders and manufacturers).
Which companies are commonly associated with zolpidem in the US?
In the US, zolpidem products have been marketed by brand holders historically tied to major pharmaceutical companies, with many generic versions produced by multiple generic manufacturers. Because generic manufacturers can change over time, you need to match the exact National Drug Code (NDC) for the product you mean to find the current maker.
How do I find the manufacturer for the exact zolpidem product I’m looking at?
Search using:
- The product name (e.g., zolpidem tartrate vs zolpidem extended-release)
- Dosage (e.g., 5 mg, 10 mg)
- Strength and formulation (immediate vs extended release)
- Your country
- The NDC (US) or pack details shown on the box/label
On the package, look for:
- “Manufactured by” or “Manufactured for”
- “Distributed by”
- The marketing authorization holder listed on the label
Are manufacturers different for immediate-release vs extended-release?
Yes. Even when the same active ingredient is zolpidem, manufacturers and marketing holders often differ between immediate-release and extended-release versions, and between branded and generic products.
If you tell me your country and product details, I can pinpoint the manufacturers
Reply with:
1) your country,
2) the brand name (if any), and
3) whether it is immediate-release or extended-release (plus the mg strength).
Then I can narrow down the manufacturers for that specific zolpidem product.
