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.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

N-desmethyldiazepam and temazepam are both further metabolized to oxazepam.

How it leaves the body

Diazepam and its metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine, predominantly as their glucuronide conjugates.

With food

Absorption is delayed and decreased when administered with a moderate fat meal.
