Brief Answer:
You cannot buy it at any pharmacy without prescription

Detailed Answer:
hi,

Ambien is a controlled substance which has addiction potential. Hence dept of drugs and narcotics will keep a tab on its production, dispensing and prescription. Hence it is highly difficult and in fact illegal to buy it or dispense it without prescription of a qualified doctor.

Thank you.
