Diazepam is usually used for short-term treatment only during alcohol withdrawal. It can be habit-forming if used for longer than prescribed, so it should only be taken exactly as advised by your prescriber.

Diazepam can make you feel sleepy, dizzy or less alert. Alcohol can increase these effects, so you should not drink while taking it.

All medication must be kept out of reach of children and animals. If you have children, or if children visit your home, keep your medicines in a safe storage box. Ask your worker about getting one free of charge. Always call 999 if you think a child has swallowed your medication. This is standard medicine safety advice. Find out more in the information leaflet you’ll be given with your medication.

Some people develop withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking alcohol, and these can range from mild to severe. Diazepam can help reduce these symptoms and lower the risk of serious complications during withdrawal, including seizures.
