Description

Diazepam (Valium) – A Clinically Proven Anxiolytic

1. Understanding Diazepam’s Medical Use

Diazepam, first marketed as Valium in the 1960s, remains one of the most widely prescribed benzodiazepines globally. It works by enhancing GABA activity in the central nervous system, producing:

  • Anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects

  • Muscle relaxant properties

  • Sedative-hypnotic action at higher doses

Unlike fast-acting benzos like alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam’s long metabolic half-life allows for smoother symptom control without abrupt rebound effects.
