Juniz Rds 5mg Suppository (Diazepam) is a benzodiazepine that works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that inhibits nerve impulses in the brain. This results in a calming effect, reducing anxiety, muscle spasms, and seizure activity.
Store diazepam at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Dispose of expired or unwanted medication properly, following your pharmacist's or local waste disposal guidelines.
Dosage varies depending on the condition being treated and the patient's individual needs. Always follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.
Diazepam can be administered orally (tablets, capsules, liquid), intravenously, intramuscularly, or rectally (depending on the formulation and medical need).
Never alter the prescribed dosage or frequency without consulting your doctor.

Dizziness
Confusion
Weakness
Unsteady gait
Difficulty concentrating
Memory problems

Paradoxical reactions (increased anxiety, agitation, aggression)
Avoid alcohol consumption while taking diazepam, as it can enhance the sedative effects and increase the risk of drowsiness and impaired coordination.
Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how diazepam affects you. It can impair your judgment, reaction time, and coordination.
Diazepam should be avoided during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, and breastfeeding unless the benefits clearly outweigh the potential risks to the baby. Consult your doctor immediately.
Diazepam should only be used in children under strict medical supervision due to potential risks. Dosage adjustments are necessary based on age and weight.
Diazepam is primarily metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Individuals with impaired liver or kidney function may require dosage adjustments to avoid accumulation and potential toxicity. Your doctor will assess this based on your medical history.
