| USES Valium is used to treat anxiety, acute alcohol withdrawal, and seizures. Valium is also used to relieve muscle spasms and to provide sedation before medical procedures. Valium belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines which act on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. It works by enhancing the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body (GABA). OTHER USES Valium may also be used to prevent extremely bad nightmares (night terrors). HOW TO USE Take Valium by mouth as directed by your doctor. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. If you are using the oral concentrate solution, use the dropper provided to carefully measure out the dose and mix it in liquid or soft food (e.g., applesauce, pudding) just before taking. Use Valium exactly as prescribed. Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because Valium can be habit-forming. Also, if used for an extended period of time or for seizure control, do not suddenly stop using Valium without your doctor's approval. Some conditions may become worse when Valium is abruptly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased. When used for an extended period, Valium may not work as well and may require different dosing. Talk with your doctor if Valium stops working well. Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while being treated with Valium unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of certain medications in your bloodstream. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. SIDE EFFECTS Drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, constipation, blurred vision, or headache may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes, slurred speech, clumsiness, trouble walking, decreased/increased interest in sex, tremor, trouble urinating, sleep disturbances. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: stomach/abdominal pain, persistent nausea, vomiting, yellowing eyes or skin, dark urine, persistent sore throat or fever. A serious allergic reaction to Valium is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. PRECAUTIONS Before using Valium, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver disease, kidney disease, lung/breathing problems (e.g., COPD, sleep apnea), drug or alcohol abuse, any allergies. Valium may make you dizzy, drowsy or cause blurred vision; use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Limit alcoholic beverages. Caution is advised when using Valium in the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the effects of the drug, especially the drowsiness effect. Valium is not recommended for use during pregnancy due to the potential for fetal harm. If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Consult your doctor for more details. Valium passes into breast milk and may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Therefore, breast-feeding while using Valium is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding. NOTES Do not share Valium with others. It is against the law. If Valium is used for an extended period of time, laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., liver function tests, complete blood count) may be performed periodically to check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more details. MISSED DOSE If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up. If you are taking Valium for seizures, take it if remembered within 1 hour of the missed dose, but skip it if more than 1 hour has passed. STORAGE Store at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C) away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medicines away from children and pets. |
