Mechanism of action
Diazepam is a potent anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and central muscle relaxant mediating its effects
mainly via the limbic system as well as the postsynaptic spinal reflexes. Diazemuls contains

the lipid particles of the emulsion has been demonstrated by clinical studies showing comparable
efficacy with injectable diazepam preparations.
