How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Diazepam). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Diazepam is a benzodiazepine that exerts anxiolytic, sedative, muscle-relaxant, anticonvulsant and amnestic effects.
Most of these effects are thought to result from a facilitation of the action of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
N-desmethyldiazepam and temazepam are both further metabolized to oxazepam.
Diazepam and its metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine, predominantly as their glucuronide conjugates.
Absorption is delayed and decreased when administered with a moderate fat meal.
