What does it do?

Diazepam is a drug from the benzodiazepine class, primarily used for alleviating anxiety symptoms and treating muscle spasms. It is classified as a psychotropic agent and aims to regulate excessive excitability of the nervous system.

Diazepam enhances the action of GABA, a neurotransmitter in the brain, thereby inhibiting neural activity. As a result, anxiety is reduced and muscles are relaxed, alleviating symptoms.
