Generic valium names?

What are the generic (non-brand) names for Valium?

Valium is the brand name for diazepam. The generic name you’ll see on prescriptions or packaging is diazepam.

Are there different “generic Valium” names?

There aren’t separate generic names for Valium itself. Instead, the same active ingredient—diazepam—is marketed under different manufacturer or company names, plus the usual drug form/strength (for example, “diazepam tablets” with a given mg dose).

What wording will you see on a pharmacy label?

You’ll typically see something like:
- Diazepam (active ingredient)
- Diazepam tablets (or the relevant formulation)
- the strength (mg)

Can you buy “generic Valium” instead of brand Valium?

In most places, if diazepam is available generically, pharmacists can usually dispense a generic equivalent to Valium because they are the same active drug (diazepam) and typically the same form and strength.
