Talk (EP 4).....................................................10 mg.
Magnesium stearate (EP 4)............................................ 1 mg.

Tartrazin (Ph. Fr. VIII)......................................0.020 mg.

In the Finnish product "Diapam", the active ingredient is unsurprisingly diazepam, and the others are:

laktoosimonohydraatti (lactose)
perunatärkkelys (starch)
liivate (gelatine)
povidoni (polyvinylpyrrolidone)
magnesiumstearaatti (magnesium stearate)
talkki (talc)

Amounts not mentioned (minimal of course), but I'd estimate they are very similar to your version.


Anyway, I wouldn't worry if I were you. These are something called excipients (click here for more info).
