Diazepam is a long-acting benzodiazepine with rapid onset commonly used to treat panic disorders, severe anxiety, alcohol withdrawal, and seizures. It is also used for sleeping disorders. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE TAKING ANY MEDICATION.
Common Uses:
- Anxiety disorders
- Control of status epilepticus
- Relief of muscle spasms
- Treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome
Mechanism of Action:
- Diazepam is a benzodiazepine that acts on the central nervous system by enhancing the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter, leading to a reduction in neuronal activity and producing anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, and muscle relaxant effects.

Drug Interactions:
- Alcohol and other central nervous system depressants can enhance the sedative effects.
- CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as ketoconazole) can increase blood levels of diazepam.
