The typical dose of diazepam used to treat anxiety or seizures in healthy adults ranges from a total of 6 milligrams (mg) to 40 mg per day given in three or four doses and may be taken with or without food.

In general, children receive lower doses of diazepam even when they have a body weight equivalent to a small adult.
