We do not prescribe diazepam (or similar medications) for hospital or dental procedures.
The decision is based on:
-
Safety considerations (e.g., need for clinical monitoring, risk of respiratory depression, impairment on driving, contraindications)
-
Potential for dependence/misuse
-
Lack of continuity of monitoring when medication is used off-site
-
Guidance from local prescribing committees and best-practice risk management
Please contact your consultant or dentist to discuss any support that may be required for an upcoming procedure.
Thank you for your understanding.
