Are There Alternatives to Diazepam for Cancer Patients?
Yes, there are several alternatives to diazepam that may be more appropriate for cancer patients. These include other benzodiazepines such as lorazepam, as well as non-benzodiazepine medications like SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) for anxiety and sleep disorders.
