What is Diazepam (Valium) Overview and Considerations about?
Diazepam is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety, acute alcohol withdrawal, muscle spasms, seizures, and sedation before medical procedures. It works by potentiating the effects of the neurotransmitter GABA in the central nervous system. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, tiredness, and blurred vision. Care should be taken with elderly patients and those with liver or kidney impairment. Repeated or prolonged use requires monitoring of hepatic, renal, and hematopoietic function.
