Diazepex is a drug used for various anxiety, anxiety and depressive conditions. Has a pronounced calming effect.
It is currently used to treat many neurological conditions. Refers to anxiolytics. The active basis of the drug is Diazepam.
Pharmacology and mechanism of action
The drug has anxiolytic, hypnotic, sedative and muscle-relaxing effects. Causes a moderate decrease in blood pressure due to the expansion of the coronary vessels. Helps to increase the threshold of sensitivity to pain. Suppresses paroxysms. Leads to a decrease in the production of gastric juice.
When taking the drug, the action begins in half an hour. The maximum plasma concentration is after 1 hour. Binds to plasma proteins. It is destroyed in the liver, the half-life is 2 days (in the elderly - up to 100 hours).
The basis of the mechanism of action of the drug is that it acts on benzodiazepine receptors. This affects the conduction of the interneurons of the spinal cord. There is an increase in the inhibitory effect of GABA (a mediator of inhibition of all parts of the central nervous system).
These processes lead to inhibition of the subcortical parts of the brain. Thanks to the influence on the limbic system, it reduces fear, emotional stress, anxiety. The effect on the brain stem determines the sedative effect of the drug.
Inhibition of the spinal nerve pathways gives the anticonvulsant effect of Diazepex.
Indications and contraindications for use

Overdose and side effects
In case of an overdose, the following reactions occur:
- severe drowsiness and confusion;
- areflexia;
- violation of visual function;
- difficulty breathing up to apnea;

Influences driving and machine control. Use with caution in case of liver and kidney damage.
During pregnancy and lactation, the drug is used only for health reasons. Diazepex has a severe effect on the fetus (it depresses the baby's nervous system).
Interaction with other medications
Enhances the effect of sedatives. Reception with antidepressants enhances the effect of the latter. Enhances the action.
Contraceptive use (oral) increases the risk of bleeding. Caffeine reduces the sedative effect of Diazepex.
Strengthens the excretion of the drug. Paracetamol, on the contrary, slows down this process.
