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.
Interacciones Medicamentosas:
- Alcohol y otros depresores del sistema nervioso central pueden potenciar los efectos sedantes.
- Inhibidores del CYP3A4 (como ketoconazol) pueden aumentar los niveles de diazepam en la sangre
