Galenika Bensedin 10mg contains diazepam, a prescription benzodiazepine medicine. Each tablet contains 10mg of diazepam, and this product is supplied as a pack of 30 tablets manufactured by Galenika. Current Serbian medicine records list Bensedin 10mg as diazepam tablets supplied in a 30-tablet pack.
Diazepam is used for conditions including severe anxiety, muscle spasms and certain seizures, and it may also be used as a sedative before some medical procedures. Diazepam should generally be used for a limited period because benzodiazepines can cause tolerance, dependence, addiction and withdrawal.
Bensedin 10mg should only be taken according to the prescription and instructions supplied with the medicine. The 10mg strength does not represent a standard dose for every patient.

Bensedin is a brand of diazepam manufactured by Galenika.
The product shown on this page is:
Serbian medicine records identify Bensedin 10mg tablets as diazepam and list the presentation as 30 tablets, supplied by Galenika.
In the UK, diazepam itself is a prescription-only medicine and is controlled as a Class C, Schedule 4 Part 1 drug.
Bensedin is a diazepam medicine belonging to the benzodiazepine group.
Diazepam reduces excessive activity within the central nervous system by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid, commonly called GABA.
This produces several clinically useful effects, including:
For more background on how benzodiazepines work and how medicines in this group differ, see What Are Benzodiazepines & What Types Are There?.
The active medicine in Bensedin 10mg is diazepam.
Current NHS information lists diazepam uses including:
Diazepam can also be used in medically supervised alcohol withdrawal, but alcohol withdrawal should not be self-treated using Bensedin. UK clinical guidance describes diazepam as one of the benzodiazepines used in structured alcohol-withdrawal regimens under clinical supervision.
Although severe anxiety can sometimes be accompanied by insomnia, Bensedin should not be treated as a general-purpose sleeping tablet.
For non-medicine information about sleep problems, see our guide to insomnia, causes and better sleep.
Each Galenika Bensedin tablet contains 10mg of diazepam.
The strength printed on the pack tells you how much active medicine is contained in each tablet. It does not tell you how many tablets you should personally take.
The appropriate dose depends on factors including:
Do not change your dose or take additional Bensedin because symptoms remain present.
For educational information about lower diazepam strengths and how strength differs from individual dosing, see our Diazepam strength, uses and safety guide.
Take Bensedin 10mg tablets exactly as prescribed.
Do not determine your own dose from the 10mg strength displayed on this page.
Follow:
Do not:
NHS guidance also advises never taking two diazepam doses together to compensate for a missed dose.
Diazepam is normally intended for short-term use.
Current NHS guidance says treatment should generally last up to four weeks, because longer use increases the risk of addiction and withdrawal symptoms.
The MHRA strengthened warnings for benzodiazepines in 2026 to emphasise the risks of:
If Bensedin feels less effective after repeated use, do not increase the dose yourself. Reduced effect may indicate tolerance and should be discussed with the prescribing healthcare professional.
Do not take a double dose of Bensedin Diazepam to make up for a forgotten tablet.
Follow the instructions supplied with your medicine or ask a doctor or pharmacist if you are uncertain what to do. NHS guidance specifically advises against taking two diazepam doses together to compensate for a missed dose.
Do not suddenly stop regular diazepam treatment without medical advice.
Physical dependence can develop even when benzodiazepines are taken therapeutically, and withdrawal can occur when treatment is stopped too rapidly.
Possible withdrawal symptoms can include:
More serious withdrawal reactions, including seizures, can occur in some circumstances. Reduction should therefore be planned individually rather than abruptly stopping treatment.
Because Bensedin contains diazepam, its effects and safety concerns are those associated with diazepam.
Common diazepam side effects include:
Diazepam can also affect coordination, concentration and reaction time.
Speak to a doctor or pharmacist if a side effect persists, becomes troublesome or worsens.
Seek urgent medical advice if you experience serious symptoms such as:
Symptoms such as swelling of the tongue or throat, serious breathing difficulty or loss of consciousness require emergency medical attention.
Bensedin 10mg contains a benzodiazepine that can cause dependence and addiction.
Tolerance means repeated use may make diazepam seem less effective.
Dependence means the body has adapted to the medicine and withdrawal symptoms may occur if treatment is stopped or reduced too quickly.
The MHRA strengthened benzodiazepine warnings in January 2026 specifically because these medicines carry recognised risks of addiction, dependence, withdrawal and tolerance.
Possible warning signs include:
Speak to your healthcare professional if you are concerned about how you are using Bensedin or any other diazepam medicine.
Do not drink alcohol while taking diazepam.
NHS guidance advises avoiding alcohol because it can increase the risk and severity of diazepam side effects.
Combining alcohol with a benzodiazepine can cause excessive sedation and can make breathing problems more dangerous.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you take.
Particular care is needed with other medicines that can cause sedation, including:
Using sedating medicines together can increase drowsiness and breathing-related risks. MHRA guidance specifically highlights the dangers associated with benzodiazepine dependence and concurrent use with other sedating substances.
For wider information about medicines used for anxiety, browse the Anti-Anxiety category.
Diazepam may be prescribed where severe anxiety is associated with insomnia, but this does not make Bensedin a routine sleeping medicine.
If your primary problem is persistent difficulty sleeping, it is useful to understand possible causes rather than automatically relying on sedating medicine. See our insomnia causes and sleep guide.
You can also browse the wider Sleeping Aids section for relevant site information, while following your own prescribed treatment plan.
Diazepam can make you sleepy and reduce alertness, coordination and reaction time.
Do not drive, cycle or operate machinery if Bensedin affects your ability to do these activities safely.
Taking more diazepam than prescribed can be dangerous.
NHS guidance advises contacting NHS 111 if more than the prescribed amount of diazepam has been taken.
Possible overdose effects can include:
Call 999 or go to A&E immediately if someone has severe breathing difficulty, becomes unconscious or cannot be woken.
Do not drive yourself to A&E.
Take the medicine packet, remaining tablets and information about any other medicines taken if possible.
