Ativan Lorazepam 2 mg

• Helps reduce symptoms of anxiety and excessive nervousness.

• Can provide a calming and sedative effect when prescribed for medical procedures.

Take lorazepam exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It may be taken with or without food. Do not take a larger dose or use it more frequently than directed. Because regular use can lead to physical dependence, do not stop taking lorazepam suddenly without medical guidance; your doctor may gradually reduce the dose.

• Dizziness
• Weakness or fatigue
• Reduced coordination
• Blurred vision

Seek immediate medical attention for severe breathing difficulties, extreme sedation, loss of consciousness, serious allergic reactions, or significant changes in mood or behavior.

• Lorazepam can cause misuse, addiction, physical dependence, and withdrawal reactions.
• Avoid alcohol because it can substantially increase sedation and other serious effects.
• Combining lorazepam with opioids or other central nervous system depressants can cause profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, or death.
• Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Do not discontinue regular treatment abruptly without medical supervision.
• Tell your doctor if you have breathing problems, liver or kidney disease, depression, glaucoma, or a history of substance misuse.

Lorazepam may interact with opioids, alcohol, sleeping medicines, sedating antihistamines, muscle relaxants, and other medicines that depress the central nervous system. These combinations can increase drowsiness and the risk of breathing problems. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements you use.
