Valium 5 mg Tablet 10s is a member of the benzodiazepine (BZD) class of drugs and is primarily used to treat seizures, muscle spasms, and severe anxiety disorder (seizures). Along with this, it also lessens the signs of alcohol withdrawal (like sweating or difficulty sleeping etc.). Valium 5 mg Tablet 10's may be used as "pre-med" prior to any surgical procedure to reduce anxiety, dread, and worry. When excessive dread or worry interferes with a person's daily activities, they are said to have an anxiety disorder. High levels of anxiety can lead to panic attacks, which are characterised by great trepidation and fear as well as a sudden beginning of perspiration, hyperventilation, a rapid heartbeat, and skin flushing. Diazepam, a component of the Valium 5 Tablet 10s, increases the amount of a calming chemical in brain cells (neurons), which is known as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).Disclaimer:For more information contact your physician.
