Diazepam is a medication to treat anxiety disorders, relieve spasms, muscle stiffness, or as a sedative before surgery. In addition, this drug can also be used in the treatment of withdrawal symptoms.
Diazepam belongs to the benzodiazepine group. This drug works to increase the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical compound in the brain that inhibits the action of chemicals that conduct nerve signals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.
This way of working will cause a calm, relaxing, and drowsy effect, so it can be used as an anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant. This drug should not be used carelessly and must be in accordance with a doctor's prescription.
Dosage and Use of Diazepam
The dose of diazepam will be determined by the doctor according to the dosage form of the drug, the condition and age of the patient, and the patient's response to treatment. In certain conditions, the doctor will determine the dose based on the patient's body weight (BB).
Continue to Andrie. Kombes Pasma said Andrie was indeed in the treatment period, and initially took the drug with a doctor's prescription. However, from 2020 to 2022, AB took the drug without a doctor's prescription.
"During 2020 to 2022, the person concerned will also buy valdimex online. This medicine should only be obtained with a doctor's prescription, but the person concerned will get it without a doctor's prescription," he said.
