Diazepam is a drug used to treat anxiety, depression, seizures, and sleep disorders. It belongs to the benzodiazepine class of drugs, which produce sedative and anxiolytic effects by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain. Diazepam is also used for sedation before surgery and for the acute treatment of seizures. In Hong Kong, diazepam is a prescription drug and requires a doctor's prescription to purchase. When using diazepam, you should strictly follow your doctor's recommendations and prescriptions and avoid overdose or long-term use. Possible side effects include drowsiness, muscle weakness, and difficulty concentrating. When discontinuing diazepam, the dose should be gradually reduced to avoid withdrawal symptoms. If you have any adverse reactions or questions, you should consult your doctor promptly.
