Diazepam belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, which act on the central nervous system to produce a calming (anxiolytic), sedative, muscle-relaxing, and anticonvulsant effect. It works by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) — a neurotransmitter that reduces brain activity. Because of this, it can help reduce anxiety, relax muscles, and control seizures. http://bbhsoba.com.ng/read-blog/19256
