Valium (Diazepam): Uses, Dosage and What to Know Before Buying Online

What Is Valium (Diazepam)?

Valium is the brand name for diazepam, one of the most widely prescribed benzodiazepines in the world. It is used to treat anxiety, alcohol withdrawal, muscle spasms, seizures and as pre-operative sedation.

Medical Uses of Diazepam

• Anxiety disorders — acute and short-term treatment
• Alcohol withdrawal syndrome — preventing delirium tremens
• Muscle relaxant — spasticity, back spasms
• Anticonvulsant — status epilepticus
• Pre-procedural sedation

How Long Does Diazepam Last?

Diazepam has a long half-life of 20–100 hours, with active metabolites that can remain in the body for days. This makes it suitable for once or twice daily dosing but requires careful management to avoid accumulation.

Available Strengths

Diazepam is commonly available in 2 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg tablets. Oral solutions (2 mg/5 mL) are also used for paediatric patients and those with difficulty swallowing.
