Diazepam is a benzodiazepine (ben-zoe-dye-AZE-eh-peen)). It is thought that benzodiazepines work by enhancing the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.
Diazepam is used to treat anxiety disorders, alcohol withdrawal symptoms, or muscle spasms and stiffness.
Diazepam is sometimes used with other medications to treat seizures.
