What is lorazpan?

Lorazepam is a medication belonging to the benzodiazepine class, commonly prescribed for the treatment of anxiety disorders, insomnia, and certain seizure disorders. It works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, leading to a calming effect. Lorazepam is typically used for short-term management due to its potential for dependence and withdrawal symptoms with long-term use. It is available in various forms, including tablets and injectable solutions.
