LORAZEPAM belongs to a group of medications called benzodiazepine primarily used to treat epilepsy (fits) and anxiety disorder. LORAZEPAM contains lorazepam, which works by increasing levels of the chemical mediator that calms brain cells (neurons), known as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), this helps relieve anxiety, stops seizures attacks (fits) and relaxes tense muscles. Additionally, LORAZEPAM may be prescribed as short-term therapy for sleeping difficulties due to anxiety. It may also be used as a sedative prior to surgery.
