Lorazepam 2 Mg Tablets

Lorazepam, a prescribed medication, is used to treat anxiety and calming effects by enhancing GABA in the body. It may also be used to reduce symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, prevent nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy, and help sleep. However, its uses are not listed in the approved professional labeling. Lorazepam works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that inhibits the activity of neurons in the brain. This results in sedative, hypnotic (sleep-inducing), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), muscle relaxant, and anticonvulsant effects. Lorazepam is used to relieve anxiety. Lorazepam is also used to treat insomnia caused by anxiety or temporary situational stress. Lorazepam is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines.

The medication should be taken as directed by a doctor, with the dosage based on the patient’s medical condition. It is important to use the medication at the same time each day to avoid withdrawal reactions. If the medication has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses, withdrawal symptoms may occur. The doctor may reduce the dose gradually to prevent withdrawal reactions. It is crucial to follow the medication’s instructions to avoid addiction and to consult a doctor if the medication stops working well or worsens.
