Bensen (also known as Diazepam) belongs to the benzodiazepine family of drugs. Its primary function is to alleviate anxiety and worries. It also acts as an anticonvulsant and relaxes muscles (prevents seizures). It is used to treat worry (fear, anxiety), muscle cramps (spasms), and epileptic seizures, particularly to treat the condition known as “status epileptics.” It’s also useful for treating delirium tremens and prepping for surgery. Insomnia is also treated with this medication.
Uses
Diazepam 10 mg works by calming the nervous system and the brain. Valium is another name for diazepam. Its most typical applications include:
- anxiety
- Withdrawal from alcohol
- seizures
- It’s also used to treat muscle spasms.
- provide sedation before medical operations
Before you start using this medication, talk to your doctor or general practitioner. It’s taken orally, with or without food, according to your doctor’s instructions. If you’re taking this medication in liquid form, use a special measuring device/spoon to make sure you get the right dose. Use a measuring spoon instead of a household spoon to ensure you get the exact dosage.
Use the medicine dropper provided to combine the measured dosage with a small amount of liquid or soft food if using the concentrated solution (such as applesauce, pudding). Consume the entire concoction as soon as possible.
Galenika Bensedin Diazepam 10 mg dose is determined by a number of factors. This includes the following:
- your health situation
- the year you were born
- your reaction to treatment.
Diazepam Use and Dose
2-15 mg, 2-3 times a day, is the usual dose for muscle spasm treatment. Anxiety is usually treated with a dose of 2-10 mg taken 2-3 times per day.
- The standard dose for treating epileptic seizures is 10 mg three times a day, three times a day.
- Because Diazepam has a larger effect on children and the elderly, the dose should always be lowered.
- When starting treatment, lower doses should always be utilized. Increase the dose gradually until the desired effect is achieved.
- Bensen is available as a pill or as an injection. It can be given as a slow intravenous infusion with 0.9 percent sodium chloride (NaCl) (for at least 4 hours).
- If you’re using Bensedin to treat insomnia, take it in the evening, one hour before bedtime.
- Bensen shouldn’t be used for more than three months because it can lead to physical and psychological dependence (Bensedin addiction)!
