HAT AA-DIAZEPAM IS USED FOR
AA-Diazepam(Diazepam) is useful in
symptomatic relief of excessive anxiety
and tension in psychoneurotic
(maladaptive emotional behaviour)
patients.
In acute alcoholic withdrawal, diazepam
may be useful in the symptomatic relief
of acute agitation, tremor and impending
acute delirium tremens (an acute,
sometimes fatal episode of delirium that
is usually caused by withdrawal from
chronic alcoholism, involving tremors,
anxiety, hallucinations [hearing voices or
seeing images that are not really there],
and disorientation).
Diazepam is also a useful adjunct to the
relief of spasticity in neuromuscular
disorders (muscle spasms).
HOW AA-DIAZEPAM WORKS
AA-Diazepam contains the active
ingredient Diazepam. AA-Diazepam
belongs to a group of medicines called
benzodiazepines. They are thought to
work by their action on brain chemicals.
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.

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. Since exci
