AA-DIAZEPAM DIAZEPAM TABLETS USP 5MG AND 10MG PHARMACOLOGY: Diazepam possesses anxiolytic and sedative properties which may be of value in the symptomatic relief of manifest anxiety and tension states in psychoneurotic patients. It has also and adjunctive value in the relief of certain neurospastic conditions. Peak blood levels after oral administration of diazepam are reached within one or two hours after single oral dosing. The acute half-life is six to eight hours with a slower decline thereafter, possibly due to tissue storage. However, after repeated doses, blood levels increase significantly over a period of 24 - 48 hours. In humans, comparable blood levels of diazepam were obtained in maternal and cord blood indicating placental transfer of the drug. INDICATIONS: Diazepam is useful in symptomatic relief of excessive anxiety and tension in psychoneurotic patients, including those with somatic manifestations. In acute alcoholic withdrawal, diazepam may be useful in the symptomatic relief of acute agitation, tremor and impending acute delirium tremens. Diazepam is a useful adjunct to the relief of spasticity in neuromuscular disorders, such as cerebral palsy and athetosis. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Diazepam is contraindicated in patients with myasthenia gravis, glaucoma or known hypersensitivity to the drug. PRECAUTIONS: Use in Elderly: Elderly and debilitated patients or those with organic brain disorders have been found to be prone to central nervous system depression following even low doses. For these patients, it is recommended that the dosage be limited to the smallest effective amount to preclude development of ataxia, oversedation or other possible adverse effects. Use In Emotional Disorders: Diazepam is not recommended in the treatment of psychotic or severely depressed patients. Precautions are indicated for severely depressed patients or those who show evidence of impending depression, particularly the recognition that suicidal tendencies may be present and protective measures may be necessary.
