Description
Diazepam 5 mg tablets, classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance (C-IV), are primarily used for the management of anxiety disorders, acute muscle spasms, and as an adjunct in the treatment of certain types of seizures. It is employed in the management of acute alcohol withdrawal symptoms and as a premedication to reduce anxiety and tension before surgical or diagnostic procedures.
The mechanism of action of diazepam involves its interaction with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the brain, enhancing the inhibitory effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter. This leads to the suppression of neuronal excitability, producing anxiolytic, muscle-relaxant, anticonvulsant, and sedative effects. Its onset of action is rapid, providing prompt relief in acute conditions.
Diazepam is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to benzodiazepines, severe respiratory insufficiency, or sleep apnea syndrome. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and fatigue, which may impair the ability to operate machinery or drive.
