Drug Details
Lorazepam, known by the brand name Ativan, is a medication primarily used to manage severe, persistent seizures (status epilepticus) and to alleviate anxiety, including pre-surgery anxiety. It belongs to the benzodiazepine class, which works by enhancing the effects of GABA, a natural calming chemical in the brain. This action helps reduce brain activity, resulting in a calming effect. Lorazepam is available in oral forms for treating anxiety and as an injectable form administered by healthcare professionals to control seizures. Common side effects include drowsiness and dizziness. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting or stopping this medication.
