👉 Diazepam is a benzodiazepine medication used for treating anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions that cause sleepiness. It works by blocking certain receptors in the brain that are responsible for regulating sleep and wakefulness. Dazepams are commonly prescribed as a short-term treatment for these conditions, but they can also be used to manage long-term use of benzodiazepines due to their sedative effects.
