Valium is a brand name for the medication diazepam, which belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines. It is commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, muscle spasms, and symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Diazepam works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which has a calming effect on the nervous system.

Valium is available in various forms, including tablets, extended-release capsules, and oral solutions. It is typically taken orally and its effects are usually felt within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion.

While Valium can be effective in managing certain conditions when used appropriately and under the guidance of a healthcare professional, it is important to be cautious because it can be habit-forming and has the potential for abuse. Long-term use of Valium can also lead to tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly.
