About
Diazepam, commonly known by the brand name Valium, is a prescription medication used to treat anxiety, muscle spasms, and seizures. It belongs to the benzodiazepine class, working by enhancing the effects of the neurotransmitter GABA to produce a calming effect on the brain and nerves. Diazepam is also used for sedation before medical procedures and to relieve symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Due to its potential for dependence and various side effects, it is important to use diazepam under strict medical supervision. Alleviate anxiety, control muscle spasms, and manage seizures effectively with diazepam, following your healthcare provider's recommendations.
