Description

The tablets can be taken orally, with dosages carefully adjusted based on the patient’s condition, age, and response to treatment. Valium is well-known for its versatility—it can provide relief from severe anxiety, ease muscle stiffness, or be used as part of an epilepsy management plan. In some cases, doctors also prescribe it before certain medical procedures to reduce nervousness and induce relaxation.

Like all benzodiazepines, Valium (Diazepam) can cause side effects. Common effects include drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, and unsteadiness. Patients are advised to avoid driving, operating machinery, or consuming alcohol while on this medication, as it can heighten sedative effects. Prolonged or excessive use may lead to dependence, so Valium is typically recommended for short-term or closely supervised treatment.
