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

to
dependence on the medicine.

DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

results,
dose,

according to
patient response. A short course of up to three weeks is recommended.
The
physician should periodically reassess the usefulness of the
medication for
the individual patient. Dosage should be individualised for maximum
beneficial
effect. In patients previously treated with anxiolytic agents, higher
initial dosages
of ATIVAN may be indicated.
The average daily dosage for treatment of anxiety is 2-3 mg
administered in
divided doses, however, this may range between 1 and 10 mg.

severe
depression.
For insomnia due to anxiety or transient situational stress, a single
daily dose of
1-2 mg may be given, usually at bedtime.
For elderly or debilitated patients, an initial dosage of 1 or 2
mg/day in divided
doses is recommended,
