Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Diazepam injections.
Diazepam belongs to the class of drugs called benzodiazepines.
It is used to control prolonged seizures and it offers a short-term relief to symptoms of anxiety or alcohol withdrawal.
Diazepam typically increases the activity of GABA (gamma amino butyric acid), a special neurotransmitter which sends signals throughout the nervous system. Without enough GABA, you will be in an excited state and this will cause anxiety, tension, muscle spasms, and seizures. Diazepam effects enhance GABA in your body and this helps decrease anxiety, tension, seizures, and muscle spasm.
Diazepam is eliminated from the body via the renal system (urine).

As with all pharmaceutical medicines, some unwanted effects occur from the use of diazepam injections.
