What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Valium (diazepam)?
• Do not take Valium (diazepam) if you have narrow-angle glaucoma. Valium (diazepam) may worsen this condition.
• Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you
     · have kidney disease;
     · have liver disease;
     · have asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, or another respiratory disease; or
     · are depressed or have suicidal thoughts.
• You may not be able to take Valium (diazepam), or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.
• Valium (diazepam) is in the FDA pregnancy category D. This means that Valium (diazepam) is known to harm an unborn baby. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant.
• Valium (diazepam) passes into breast milk. Do not take Valium (diazepam) without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
• If you are over 65 years of age, you may be more likely to experience side effects from Valium (diazepam). You may require a lower dose of this medication.
