Diazepam D10 is a benzodiazepine medication used primarily for its anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, and sedative properties. It is formulated by Pokupharma to contain 10 mg of diazepam per tablet, providing a potent dose for therapeutic use.
Indications
Diazepam D10 is indicated for the treatment of the following conditions:

- Acute alcohol withdrawal symptoms
- Muscle spasms
- Convulsive disorders (as an adjunctive therapy)
- Sedation prior to medical procedures
Mechanism of Action
Diazepam acts on the central nervous system by enhancing the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABA-A receptor. This leads to increased neuronal inhibition and produces a calming effect on the brain and nerves.
Dosage and Administration
- Adults: The dosage of Diazepam D10 should be individualized based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment. Typical starting doses for anxiety range from 2 mg to 10 mg, 2 to 4 times daily. For muscle spasms, the recommended dosage is 2 mg to 10 mg, 3 to 4 times daily.
- Elderly or Debilitated Patients: Lower initial doses are recommended to minimize the risk of oversedation and adverse effects.
- Pediatric Use: Not typically recommended for use in children under 6 months. Dosage for children older than 6 months must be carefully adjusted by a healthcare provider.
