Buy diazepam Online. Diazepam (Valium) is a drug of the benzodiazepine group, which is widely used in medical practice. Valium has a sedative, hypnotic, anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, and amnestic action. Enhances the effect of hypnotics, narcotics, neuroleptics, analgesic drugs, and alcohol. Taking diazepam for a long time can lead to dependence on the drug.
Diazepam is mainly used to treat anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, and symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal. It is also used as a premedication for inducing sedation, anxiolysis, or amnesia before certain medical procedures (e.g., endoscopy).[30] It was approved for use in the United States as a nasal spray to interrupt seizure action [6]
Diazepam is the most commonly used benzodiazepine for “tapering” benzodiazepine dependence due to the drug’s comparatively long half-life, allowing for more efficient dose reduction. Benzodiazepines have a relatively low toxicity in overdose.[19]
Diazepam has several uses, including:
- Treatment of neurovegetative symptoms associated with vertigo[34] of the symptoms of alcohol, opiate, and benzodiazepine withdrawal[30][35]
- Short-term treatment of insomnia[30]
- Treatment of muscle spasms
- Treatment of tetanus, together with other measures of intensive treatment[36]
- Adjunctive treatment of spastic muscular paresis (paraplegia/tetraplegia) caused by cerebral or spinal cord conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, orPalliative treatment of stiff person syndrome[38]
- Pre- or postoperative sedation, anxiolysis or amnesia (e.g., before endoscopic or surgical procedures)[37]
- Treatment of complications with stimulant overdoses and psychosis, such as cocaine or methamphetamine[28]
Used in the treatment of organophosphate poisoning and reduces the risk of seizure-induced brain and cardiac damage.
- Preventive treatment of oxygen toxicity during hyperbaric oxygen therapy[39]
Dosages are typically determined on an individual basis, depending on the condition being treated, severity of symptoms, patient body weight, and any other conditions the person may have.[28]
Seizures
[edit]
Intravenous diazepam or lorazepam are first-line treatments for status epilepticus.[19][40] However, intravenous lorazepam has advantages over intravenous diazepam, including a higher rate of terminating seizures and a more prolonged anticonvulsant effect. Diazepam gel was better than placebo gel in reducing the risk of non-cessation of seizures.[41] Diazepam is rarely used for the long-term treatment of epilepsy because tolerance to its anticonvulsant effects usually develops within six to twelve months of treatment, effectively rendering it useless for that purpose.[28][42]
The anticonvulsant effects of diazepam can help in the treatment of seizures due to a drug overdose or chemical toxicity as a result of exposure to sarin, VX, or soman (or other organophosphate poisons), lindane, chloroquine, physostigmine, or pyrethroids.[28][43]
Diazepam is sometimes used intermittently for the prevention of febrile seizures that may occur in children under five years of age.[19] Recurrence rates are reduced, but side effects are common and the decision to treat febrile seizures (which are benign in nature) with medication uses these factors as part of the evaluation.[44] Long-term use of diazepam for the management of epilepsy is not recommended;[by whom?] however, a subgroup of individuals with treatment-resistant epilepsy benefit from long-term benzodiazepines, and for such individuals, clorazepate has been recommended due to its slower onset of tolerance to the anticonvulsant effects.[19]
Alcohol withdrawal
[edit]
Because of its relatively long duration of action, and evidence of safety and efficacy, diazepam is preferred over other benzodiazepines for the treatment of persons experiencing moderate to severe alcohol withdrawal.[45] An exception to this is when a medication is required intramuscular in which case either lorazepam or midazolam is recommended
