Valium pills description is on https://reneelertzman.com/anxiety/valium-10-mg/ and according to the instruction it is used for short-term treatment. It is fraught with serious risks if you don’t take it in accordance with the regulations. If you miss a dose: take it when you remember, but do not take more than one dose a day. Never try to catch up by taking two doses at the same time. This can cause toxic side effects.
