Diazepam works by increasing the activity of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a natural chemical that slows down the activity of certain neurons in the brain, which helps to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
Diazepam is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, muscle spasms, seizure disorders, and alcohol withdrawal symptoms. It is also used as a premedication before surgery and to treat insomnia.
Diazepam is available in tablet form, as well as in injectable and oral solutions. The dosage of diazepam depends on the condition being treated, as well as the patient's age, weight, and overall health. It is usually taken orally, with or without food.
