A member asked:
My mother is 77 years old and has been prescribed zolpihexal for a discomforting pain on her right side of her torso. she now falls asleep during activities like supper. is this the right treatment?

Depends on details: This is a public forum for information, and not for medical advice. Zolpihexal is listed as a S. African medication containing zolpidem, which is a sedative drug used short-term for the treatment of insomnia (trouble falling asleep). That can explain her falling asleep during activities. So, one must ask her and her doctor what the goal is, to see if it is diagnosis, pain relief, or comfort care.
