Diazepam is a prescription medicine used to treat anxiety, muscle spasms, seizures, and alcohol withdrawal symptoms. It belongs to the benzodiazepine class and works by calming the brain and nervous system.
Doctors may also prescribe diazepam before medical procedures to help patients relax. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and fatigue.
Diazepam should only be used under medical supervision and for short-term treatment to reduce the risk of dependence. Always follow your doctor’s recommended dosage and avoid mixing it with alcohol or other sedatives.
