In reply to HELP please . . . Ambien available in Canada?!?!?, posted by TamaraJ on June 17, 2005, at 11:15:26
> I am getting conflicting information. One pharmacy says that Ambien is available in Canada, under the name of zolpidem. Today, another pharmacy has said that it is not available in Canada. Is it or isn't it? Please can anybody confirm the status of Ambien's (zolpidem's) availability in Canada?

> And, if Ambien is not available in Canada, what would others suggest as a sleep aid that would work as well as Ambien, and in a similar fashion.

> Tamarahello there, chemist here...not wanting to jump into ed's territory...it appears to me that Ambien is approved for sale in Canada but the company - now, Sanofi-Aventis - has chosen not to do so for financial reasons. in any event, some testimonial dictation - dated, and as dazzling as the u.s. equivalent - via Health Canada's site can be read at:

which, should your current sleeping medication and/or access to CSPAN/CSPAN2 in the u.s. fail to put you to sleep, certainly be of aid to you...all the best, chemist
