DESCRIPTION
Diazepam Tablets USP are a benzodiazepine derivative. Chemically,
diazepam, USP is 7-chloro-1,3-
dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one. It is a
colorless to light yellow crystalline
compound, and is insoluble in water. Its structural formula is:
C
H ClN O M.W. 284.75
Diazepam Tablets USP are available as 2 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg tablets
for oral administration and contain
the following inactive ingredients: anhydrous lactose, colloidal
silicon dioxide; colorants: 5 mg only
(D&C Yellow No. 10 aluminum lake and FD&C Yellow No. 6); 10 mg only
(FD&C Blue No. 1
aluminum lake); magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose,
pregelatinized corn starch, and sodium
starch glycolate.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Diazepam is a benzodiazepine that exerts anxiolytic, sedative,
muscle-relaxant, anticonvulsant and
amnestic effects. Most of these effects are thought to result from a
facilitation of the action of gamma
aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the
central nervous system.
PHARMACOKINETICS
_ABSORPTION_
After oral administration > 90% of diazepam is absorbed and the
average time to achieve peak plasma
concentrations is 1 to 1.5 hours with a range of 0.25 to 2.5 hours.
Absorption is delayed and decreased
when administered with a moderate fat meal. In the presence of food
mean lag times are approximately
45 minutes as compared with 15 minutes when fasting. There is also an
increase in the average time to
achieve peak concentrations to about 2.5 hours in the presence of food
as compared with 1.25 hours
when fasting. This results in an average decrease in C
of 20% in addition to a 27% decrease in AUC
(range 15% to 50%) when administered with food.
