What It Is: Diazepam is a medication belonging to the benzodiazepine class, commonly prescribed for anxiety, muscle spasms, and seizures. It is also used to provide sedation before medical procedures.
How It Works: Diazepam acts on the central nervous system, enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which produces a calming effect on the brain and body.
Uses:
- Anxiety Relief: Often prescribed for short-term management of anxiety disorders.
- Muscle Relaxation: Used to relieve muscle spasms and tension.
- Seizure Control: Effective in managing certain types of seizures.
- Sedation: Administered before procedures to induce relaxation.
