Lorazepam 1mg

Lorazepam 1mg is a prescription benzodiazepine medicine used for the short-term treatment of anxiety and anxiety-related sleep problems. In medical settings, 1mg lorazepam may also be used prior to surgical or dental procedures to help ease agitation and stress. Hospitals may additionally use this medicine to manage seizures under specialist supervision.

How Lorazepam Works

Lorazepam enhances the calming effects of GABA — a neurotransmitter that reduces overactive brain activity. This provides:

• Anxiety relief

• Muscle relaxation

• Sedation to support natural sleep

• Reduced emotional tension
