Zolpidem-induced sneezing: A case report of positive rechallenge.

INTRODUCTION

Zolpidem, as an imidazopyridine, is a widely prescribed drug in clinical practice for short-term treatment of insomnia. Nevertheless, there have been a number of cases associated with the adverse effects of the stated drug recently. Further to the existing reports of adverse reactions to zolpidem, the current script is going to report a case in which zolpidem has induced acute repetitive sneezes.

CONCLUSIONS

A high dose of zolpidem may contribute to interruption to the neurons function involved in the sneezing pathway.
