Brief Answer: observe closely for drowsiness, may need hospital. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Welcome to healthcare Magic! You should be pretty sure that it is only four tablets not more and no other drug has been taken along with it. Observe the person for his breathing and arousability, (if he can swallow then give lots of liquids to drink) if these two parameters look fine then slowly the medicine will be eliminated. If looks very sick and obtunded then better to take the patient to hospital for close monitoring, as such there is no antidote of zolpidem. I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you. Take Care!
