Lorazepam
Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine-class active pharmaceutical ingredient widely used for the management of anxiety disorders, insomnia, preoperative sedation, and status epilepticus. By enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABA-A receptor, Lorazepam produces anxiolytic, sedative, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant effects. Its relatively intermediate onset and duration of action make it a versatile choice across psychiatric, neurological, and procedural settings. Pharmaceutical companies formulate Lorazepam into oral tablets, oral solutions, and injectable preparations, providing flexible dosing options for diverse clinical applications.
Common Lorazepam Uses and Treated Conditions
- Anxiety Disorders – Relieves symptoms of generalized anxiety and acute anxiety episodes.
- Insomnia – Used for the short-term treatment of severe insomnia associated with anxiety.
- Preoperative Sedation – Provides anxiolysis and sedation before medical or surgical procedures.
- Status Epilepticus – Administered intravenously to control prolonged seizure activity.
