Valium (diazepam) is a medication that belongs to the benzodiazepine class of drugs, which act on the central nervous system to produce a calming effect. It is primarily used to treat anxiety disorders, muscle spasms, and seizures.

The 10mg tablet of Valium contains 10 milligrams of diazepam as the active ingredient. The tablet is typically taken by mouth, either with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed it, as Valium can be habit-forming and may cause dependence if taken in excess or for extended periods.

Common side effects of Valium include drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, and dry mouth. More serious side effects can occur, such as confusion, hallucinations, and difficulty breathing, and immediate medical attention should be sought if any of these occur.

It is important to disclose any other medications, supplements, or medical conditions to your healthcare provider before taking Valium, as it can interact with other drugs and may not be suitable for everyone.
