What Experts Say
Diazepam belongs to the benzodiazepine class. It enhances the effect of a calming brain chemical called GABA, which slows down nerve activity and produces a sedative, muscle relaxing, and anti anxiety effect.
Doctors prescribe it carefully and usually for a short duration because the body can develop tolerance and physical dependence with regular use. Sudden withdrawal after prolonged use can trigger rebound anxiety or seizures, so the dose is tapered gradually.
Benzodiazepines are tightly regulated controlled substances in Pakistan, and doctors generally reserve them for short courses rather than long term daily anxiety management. Pharmacists dispense this tablet only against a valid prescription due to its recognized potential for misuse, and repeat purchases without medical review are actively discouraged. Patients on longer courses are usually tapered gradually rather than stopped abruptly.
