  • Ability to swallow study medication.
  • Willingness to travel to National Institutes of Health (NIH) for follow-up visits.
  • Men age greater than or equal to 18 years of age. Children are excluded because prostate cancer is not common in pediatric populations.

  • Females age greater than or equal to 18 years of age
  • Good health conditions or without significant diseases, according to best medical judgement.
  • If breastfeeding, must be willing to discard breastmilk for 24 hours following zolpidem.
  • Ability if subject to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent Ability to swallow study medication.
  • EXCLUSION CRITERIA - FOR MALE COHORT:

  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with zolpidem. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.
  • Patients with known active treatment for Hepatitis B and C infections.
  • Patients who are taking medications that may alter the metabolism of zolpidem. This includes strong Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors or inducers or CYP3A4 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index. For a current table of Substrates, Inhibitors and Inducers please access the following website: http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DevelopmentApprovalProcess/DevelopmentResources/DrugInteractionsLabeling/ucm093664.htm
  • History or presence of hepatic or gastrointestinal diseases, or other condition that interferes with drug absorption, distribution, excretion or metabolism.
