Zepam 5 mg is a prescription medicine that belongs to a group of medicines called benzodiazepines. It works by increasing the effects of a natural calming chemical in the brain called GABA, which helps slow down brain activity. This produces a calming effect, reduces anxiety, relaxes muscles, and helps control seizures. Diazepam may also be used before medical procedures to help patients feel relaxed and can be prescribed for short-term treatment of severe anxiety, muscle spasms, alcohol withdrawal symptoms, and certain types of seizures. Because it can cause drowsiness, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms if used for long periods, it should only be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
