Diazepam is a generic name of Valium
medication. As Valium brand, it was first marketed by Hoffmann-La Roche.
Diazepam was the second benzodiazepine to be invented by Leo Sternbach
of Hoffmann-La Roche, and was approved for use in 1963. It is two and a
half times more potent than its predecessor, chlordiazepoxide, which it
quickly surpassed in terms of sales. Diazepam was the top-selling
pharmaceutical in the United States from 1969 to 1982, with peak sales
in 1978 of 2.3 billion pills. Now you can order and buy both Diazepam
and Valium online.
Diazepam is an anxiolytic-sedative drug useful
in the symptomatic relief of anxiety and tension states. Diazepam
is a member of the benzodiazepine family. Benzodiazepines are
sedatives that cause dose-related depression of the central nervous
system. They are useful in treating anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and
muscle spasms. You should remember that Diazepam is habit forming.
You can become physically and psychologically dependent on the
medication. Do not take more than the prescribed amount of medication
or take it for longer than is directed by your doctor.
Diazepam comes as a tablet, extended-release
(long-acting) capsule, and concentrate (liquid) to take by mouth. Do
not open, chew, or crush the extended-release capsules; swallow them
whole. It usually is taken one to four times a day and may be taken
with or without food. Follow the directions on your prescription
label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any
part you do not understand.
Diazepam must be taken regularly to be effective. Do
not skip doses even if you feel that you do not need them. Do not take
Diazepam for more than 4 months or stop taking this medication without
talking to your doctor. Stopping the drug suddenly can worsen your
condition and cause withdrawal symptoms (anxiousness, sleeplessness,
and irritability). Your doctor probably will decrease your dose
gradually. Take Diazepam exactly as directed.
