Rectal solution - 5 mg/2.5 ml

Afebril contains the active substance diazepam. Diazepam is a long-lasting benzodiazepine. It acts as anxiolytic, hypnosedative, myorelaxant and anticonvulsive through specific benzodiazepine receptors by potentiating the GABA–ergic transmission and as a result the central nervous system is inhibited.

Afebril is used in:

  • status epilepticus, febrile convulsions, convulsions due to poisoning;
  • acute anxiety and agitation.

Afebril rectal solution may be of particular value for the treatment of convulsions in children.
