WHAT
ATIVAN
IS
USED
FOR
_ _
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.
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.

QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY ATIVAN HAS
BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU.

for another purpose.
