Alcohol withdrawal, muscle spasms, and
seizures are a few of the conditions that can be treated with Valium

diazepam), a prescription drug that works by enhancing the effects of a naturally-calming chemical in the brain. Valium, which is currently manufactured by Roche Products, Inc., comes as tablets, an oral liquid, and an injection.
Some of the factors that can affect the

If you forget to take your dose of Valium as scheduled, skip the missed dose and take your next scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of Valium
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Valium. However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. Serious side effects are less common. The most common side effects of this medication include drowsiness, coordination problems, and fatigue.
