We understand that a fear of flying can be very distressing and, for some people, can make travelling extremely difficult.
Mount Surgery does not prescribe diazepam (or similar sedative medicines) for fear of flying.
There are important medical and safety reasons for this approach, including the effects of sedative medication during a flight and the guidance surrounding the use of these medicines for phobias.
We have produced a short patient information leaflet explaining our practice policy, the reasons behind it, and some alternative options that may help if you experience a fear of flying.
