Overview Of Lorazepam

Lorazepam is prescribed to treat anxiety-related conditions and panic disorder, and it is used by anesthesiologists to prevent the patient from remembering a surgical procedure. Patients who need mechanical ventilation may be given lorazepam for sedation, and it can help stop active seizures. Depending on the setting, patients may take lorazepam as an oral tablet or they may receive it as an injection at the hospital. In the treatment of anxiety disorders, patients are typically prescribed two to three milligrams every eight to twelve hours.
