Valium 10 mg, containing the active ingredient diazepam, is a high-dose benzodiazepine used to treat conditions such as severe anxiety, muscle spasms, seizures, and symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. It works by calming the brain and nerves through its action on the neurotransmitter GABA. Due to its strength, Valium 10 mg is typically prescribed for short-term use under close medical supervision. Misuse can lead to dependence, sedation, and other serious side effects. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully.
