as directed by your physician.
Diazepam is a
member of the benzodiazepine family. Benzodiazepines are sedatives
that cause dose-related depression of the central nervous system.
They are useful in treating anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and muscle
spasms.
Diazepam is used
for the short-term relief of symptoms related to anxiety disorders.
Diazepam is also used for the treatment of agitation, tremors,
delirium, seizures, and hallucinations as a result of alcohol
withdrawal. Diazepam is also used for relief of muscle spasms in
certain neurological diseases. Diazepam is used to abort active
seizures and can be combined with other drugs in treating severe
recurrent seizures.
Diazepam may be
taken with or without food. Diazepam is metabolized by the liver and
excreted mainly by the kidney. Dosages of diazepam may need to be
lowered in patients with abnormal kidney function.

Information
VALIUM from
Roche (Generic: DIAZEPAM) is used for anxiety, skelatal
muscle relaxant or as directed
by your physician.
Diazepam is a
member of the benzodiazepine family. Benzodiazepines are
sedatives that cause dose-related depression of the central
nervous system. They are useful in treating anxiety, insomnia,
seizures, and muscle spasms.
Diazepam is used for the short-term relief of symptoms related
to anxiety disorders. Diazepam is also used for the treatment of
agitation, tremors, delirium, seizures, and hallucinations as a
result of alcohol withdrawal. Diazepam is also used for relief
of muscle spasms in certain neurological diseases. Diazepam is
used to abort active seizures and can be combined with other
drugs in treating severe recurrent seizures.
Diazepam may be taken with or without food. Diazepam is
metabolized by the liver and excreted mainly by the kidney.
Dosages of diazepam may need to be lowered in patients with
abnormal kidney function.
Precautions:
Alcohol should be avoided by patients taking benzodiazepines.
Diazepam can lead to addiction (dependency), especially at
higher dosages over prolonged periods of time. Because of
diazepam's addicting potential, dosages should never be
increased by the patient. In patients addicted to diazepam,
abrupt discontinuation of the medicine can lead to symptoms of
withdrawal (insomnia, headaches, nausea, vomiting,
lightheadedness, sweating, anxiety, and fatigue). Seizures can
occur in more severe cases of withdrawal. Consequently, patients
on diazepam for extended periods of time should slowly
taper the
medication under a doctor's supervision rather than abruptly
stopping the medication. Benzodiazepines, such as diazepam, can
cause fetal problems and should not be used in pregnancy or in
breast feeding mothers. Tagamet can prolong the effects of
diazepam and dosages may need to be decreased when these drugs
are used together.
Side Effects:
The most frequent side effects of diazepam are drowsiness,
fatigue, and ataxia (loss of balance). Rarely, diazepam causes a
paradoxical reaction with excitability, muscle spasm, lack of
sleep, and rage. Confusion, depression, speech problems, and
double vision are also rare side effects of diazepam.
