Drug Info for diazepam
Diazepam rectal gel is used in emergency situations to stop cluster seizures (episodes of increased seizure activity) in people who are taking other medications to treat epilepsy (seizures). Diazepam is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It works by calming abnormal overactivity in the brain.
Diastat Acudial is used to treat increased episodes of seizures (cluster seizures) in people who are already taking medications to control their seizures. Diastat Acudial is only recommended for short term used and works by affecting chemicals in the brain that may be unbalanced in people with seizures.
