This is drug over dosage which can lead to unconsciousness

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the safety profile of Zolfresh.

Basically used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. The total dose of Zolfresh (Zolpidem) tablets should not exceed 10 mg once daily immediately before bedtime.
When consumed in larger doses it produces central nervous system depressant effects like drowsiness, impaired concentration, unconsciousness, breathing difficulties cardiovascular dysfunction, coma with fatal outcome can occur.

Hope to have answered your query.

Should you need more clarification, please feel free to send your query.

Best regards.
