Bensedin, like other members of the benzodiazepine family, binds to receptors in various regions of the brain, such as the spinal cord, brain stem, cerebellum, limbic system and cerebral cortex. Binding of diazepam to the benzodiazepine receptor potentiates the inhibitory actions of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediated through chloride channel, thereby enhancing GABA-facilitated, inhibitory synaptic transmission.

Bensedin is a benzodiazepine that exerts anxiolytic, sedative, muscle- relaxant, anticonvulsant and amnestic effects . Most of these effects are thought to result from facilitation of the action of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system .

USES OF VALIUM BENSEDINE TABLETS

Diazepam has several uses, including:

• Treatment of anxiety, panic attacks, and states of agitation
• Treatment of neurovegetative symptoms associated with vertigo .
• Treatment of the symptoms of alcohol, opiate, and benzodiazepine withdrawal.
• Short-term treatment of insomnia.
• Treatment of muscle spasms
• Treatment of tetanus, together with other measures of intensive treatment^[36]
• Adjunctive treatment of spastic muscular paresis (paraplegia/tetraplegia) caused by cerebral or spinal cord conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injury (long-term treatment is coupled with other rehabilitative measures).
• Palliative treatment of stiff person syndrome
• Pre- or postoperative sedation, anxiolysis or amnesia (e.g., before endoscopic or surgical procedures)
• Treatment of complications with stimulant overdoses and psychosis, such as cocaine or methamphetamine

• Used in the treatment of organophosphate poisoning and reduces the risk of seizure-induced brain and cardiac damage.

• Preventive treatment of oxygen toxicity during hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Dosages are typically determined on an individual basis, depending on the condition being treated, the severity of symptoms, the patient’s body weight, and any other conditions the person may have.

An individual who has consumed too much diazepam typically displays one or more of these symptoms in approximately four hours immediately following a suspected overdose:

• Drowsiness
• Mental confusion
• Hypotension
• Impaired reflexes
• Impaired coordination
• Impaired balance Impaired motor function Dizziness
