Lexomil Roche (bromazepam) is the French name for Valium, a prescription drug used to treat anxiety. A psychiatrist must prescribe the medication. The drug is a benzodiazepine derivative which binds to the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor GABAA, causing a relaxed, sedated feeling in people who take it. Lexomil Roche produces effects that are similar to those of other commonly prescribed benzodiazepines, such as Xanax and Klonopin. The drug can also be prescribed as a sleep aid or a pain killer.
