HOW
DIAPO WORKS
This medicine belongs to a group of
medicines called benzodiazepines. It is
thought to work by acting on chemicals
in the brain.
Benzodiazepines act as depressants of
the
central
nervous
system
(CNS)
producing
CNS
depression
from
sedation to hypnosis to coma depending
on dose.
Benzodiazepines
should
not
be
used
alone
to
treat
depression
or
severe
mental illness.
In
general,
benzodiazepines
such
as
diazepam
should
be
taken
for
short
periods only.
Continuous
long-term
use
is
not
recommended unless advised by your
doctor.
There is evidence that using these types
of medicines can lead to dependence.

PHARMACODYNAMICS
DIAPO TABLET 5MG
A 8mm diameter, round, flat, scored yellow tablet.
_Each tablet contains Diazepam 5mg_
Diazepam is a long-acting benzodiazepine with anticonvulsant,
anxiolytic,
sedative and muscle relaxant properties. It is indicated as an
antianxiety agent, as a
hypnotic in the short-term management of insomnia, as a sedative and
preoperative
medication,
as
an
anticonvulsant
particularly
in
the
management
of
status
epilepticus and febrile convulsions, in the control of muscle spasm as
in tetanus,
and in the management of alcohol withdrawal symptoms. It is also used
as
antipanic and antitremor agent. Diazepam is also used to relieve
spasms of facial
muscles
associated
with
problems
of
occlusion
and
temporomandibular
joint disorders and for the treatment of tension headache.
In general, benzodiazepines act as depressants of the central nervous
system
producing all level of CNS depression from mild sedation to hypnosis
to coma
depending on the dosage. The precise sites and mechanisms of action
have not been
completely
established.
Although
various
mechanisms
of
action
have
been
proposed, it is believed that diazepam enhance or facilitate the
inhibitory neurotrans-
mitter action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is one of the
major
inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain and mediates both pre- and
post-synaptic
inhibition in all regions of the CNS, following interaction between
the benzodiaze-
pine and a specific neuronal membrane receptor. Diazepam reportedly
act as
agonists at the benzodiazepine receptors, which have been shown to
form a
component of a functional supramolecular unit known as the
benzodiazepine-GA-
BA receptor-chloride ionophore complex. The receptor complex, believed
to reside
on neuronal membranes that regulate cell firing, functions mainly in
the gating of
the chloride channel. Activaton of the GABA receptor results in the
opening of the
chloride
channel,
allowing
the
flow
of
chloride
ions
through
the
neuronal
membr
