Improvement of blepharospasm with Zolpidem

Nélida Susana Garretto et al. Mov Disord. 2004 Aug.

Abstract

Zolpidem (ZLP) is an imidazopyridine that binds to GABA receptors. We report on improvement of blepharospasm in 3 patients treated with ZLP. The GABAergic action of this drug on the output structures of the basal ganglia could explain the improvement of blepharospasm in these patients.
