A member asked:

What has a milder effect? 2 mg diazepam or 5 mg medazepam mitte?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

2 mg of diazepam: Diazepam and medazepam are equipotent. 5 mg of diazepam equals 5 mg of medazepam. Their half-lives, especially of their active metabolites are equally as long. Best wishes.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
