What is Pharmaceutical Diazepam (Valium) 10mg ? 

Diazepam, commonly known by its brand name Valium, is a benzodiazepine medication used to treat a variety of conditions including anxiety, muscle spasms, seizures, and alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

Diazepam is also used as a premedication for inducing sedation, anxiolysis, or amnesia before certain medical procedures. Available in 10mg tablets, Diazepam is effective in providing relief from acute anxiety and tension.
