This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Diastat but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Diastat
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Diazepam, a benzodiazepine, generates the same active metabolite as chlordiazepoxide and clorazepate. Diazepam is an antianxiety agent, sedative, amnestic, anticonvulsant, skeletal muscle relaxant, and anesthetic adjunct, and is used in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal, status epilepticus, and febrile seizures. For use as Sedative-hypnotic, antiaxiety and antidepressant

Mechanism Of Action:
Benzodiazepines bind nonspecifically to benzodiazepine receptors BNZ1, which mediates sleep, and BNZ2, which affects affects muscle relaxation, anticonvulsant activity, motor coordination, and memory. As benzodiazepine receptors are thought to be coupled to gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptors, this enhances the effects of GABA by increasing GABA affinity for the GABA receptor. Binding of GABA to the site opens the chloride channel, resulting in a hyperpolarized cell membrane that prevents further excitation of the cell.
