What Ativan is used for

Ativan is used to relieve anxiety. However, anxiety or tension associated with the normal stress of everyday life usually does not require treatment with medicines.

It is also used before surgery to help relax you.

In general, benzodiazepines such as Ativan should be taken for short periods only (for example 2-4 weeks). Continuous long-term use is not recommended unless advised by your doctor. The use of benzodiazepines may lead to dependence on the medicine.

Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Ativan has been prescribed for you. Your doctor may have prescribed it for another purpose.

This medicine is available only with a doctor’s prescription.

Action: How Ativan works

Ativan contains lorazepam as the active ingredient which belongs to a group of medicines called benzodiazepines. They are thought to work by their action on brain chemicals.

The exact mechanism of action of benzodiazepines has not yet been elucidated; however, benzodiazepines appear to work through several mechanisms. Benzodiazepines presumably exert their effects by binding to specific receptors at several sites within the central nervous system either by potentiating the effects of synaptic or pre-synaptic inhibition mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid or by directly affecting the action potential generating mechanisms.

Each Ativan 1 mg tablet contains 1 mg lorazepam.

Each Ativan 2.5 mg tablet contains 2.5 mg lorazepam.

It also contains the inactive ingredients magnesium stearate, cellulose-microcrystalline, polacrilin potassium, lactose, iron oxide yellow (2.5 mg only), and quinoline yellow (2.5 mg only).

Ativan does not contain gluten, sucrose, tartrazine or any other azo dyes.

While you are taking it

Things you must do

Take Ativan exactly as your doctor has prescribed.

Tell all doctors, dentists, and pharmacists who are treating you that you are taking Ativan.

If you become pregnant while you are taking Ativan, tell your doctor immediately.

Tell your doctor if you feel Ativan is not helping your condition.

If you are being treated for anxiety, be sure to discuss with your doctor any problems you may have and how you feel, especially if your anxiety attacks are getting worse or more frequent. This will help your doctor to determine the best treatment for you.

Visit your doctor regularly. Your doctor needs to check your progress and see whether you need to keep taking Ativan.

Always discuss with your doctor any problems or difficulties you have during or after taking Ativan.

Tell your doctor if, for any reason, you have not taken your medicine exactly as prescribed. Otherwise, your doctor may think that it was not effective and change your treatment unnecessarily.

Keep enough Ativan to last weekends and holidays.

Things you must not do

Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how Ativan affects you. This medicine may cause drowsiness or dizziness in some people and therefore may affect alertness. Make sure you know how you react to Ativan before you drive a car, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are drowsy, dizzy or not alert. Even if you take Ativan at night, you may still be drowsy or dizzy the next day.

Do not take Ativan for a longer time than your doctor has prescribed. Ativan should be taken for short periods only (for example 2 to 4 weeks), unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

Do not change your dose without first checking with your doctor.

Do not stop taking Ativan or lower the dose, without first checking with your doctor. Stopping this medicine suddenly may cause some unwanted effects. Your doctor will slowly reduce your dose before you can stop taking it completely.

Do not suddenly stop taking Ativan if you suffer from epilepsy. Stopping this medicine suddenly may make your epilepsy worse.

Do not use this medicine to treat any other complaints unless your doctor says to.

Do not give Ativan to anyone else, even if their symptoms seem similar to yours.

Things to be careful of

Be careful when drinking alcohol while taking Ativan. Combining Ativan and alcohol can make you more sleepy, dizzy or lightheaded. Your doctor may suggest that you avoid alcohol or reduce the amount of alcohol you drink while you are taking Ativan.

Be careful if you are elderly, unwell or taking other medicines. Some people may experience side effects such as drowsiness, confusion, dizziness, and unsteadiness, which may increase the risk of a fall.

After taking it

Storage

Keep Ativan in a cool dry place where the temperature stays below 25°C.

Keep your tablets in their blister pack until it is time to take them. If you take the tablets out of the box or the blister pack they may not keep well.

Do not store it or any other medicines, in a bathroom or near a sink. Do not leave it in the car or on window sills. Heat and dampness can destroy some medicines.

Keep it where children cannot reach it. A locked cupboard at least one-and-a-half metres above the ground is a good place to store medicines.

Disposal

If your doctor tells you to stop taking Ativan or the tablets have passed their expiry date, ask your pharmacist what to do with any tablets left over.
