How to Use Diazewok 5mg Injection

Benefits of Diazewok 5mg Injection

• In Treatment of Alcohol withdrawal: Diazewok 5mg is a medicine used, along with social support and counseling, to help people recover from alcohol addiction and to avoid having the urge to drink alcohol again.

Diazewok 5mg will therefore help you go about your daily activities more easily and be more productive.
• In Treatment of Epilepsy: Diazewok 5mg slows down electrical signals in the brain which cause seizures (fits).

The medicine can allow you to do some activities that you would otherwise be forbidden or scared to do (such as swimming and driving). It can take a few weeks for this medicine to work (because the dose has to be increased slowly) and during this time you may still have seizures.
• In Treatment of Muscle spasm: Diazewok 5mg effectively relieves muscle stiffness or spasm, thereby improving muscle movement. Take it as prescribed by the doctor to get the most benefit. Do not take more or for longer than needed as that can be dangerous and it also has habit-forming potential. In general, you should take the lowest dose that works, for the shortest possible time. This will help you to go about your daily activities more easily and have a better, more active, quality of life.
