1. WHAT LORAZEPAM TABLETS ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR
The name of your medicine is Lorazepam Tablets. Lorazepam is a member of a group
of medicines called benzodiazepines. It can help to relieve anxiety. Lorazepam is
prescribed as short-term therapy for anxiety (2-4 weeks), or sleeping difficulties due to
anxiety. It may also be used as a sedative before surgery or operative dental treatment.
Lorazepam Tablets are not to be used for longer than 4 weeks, to treat mild or
moderate anxiety in adults or for anxiety/insomnia in children.
2. BEFORE YOU TAKE LORAZEPAM TABLETS
Do not take Lorazepam Tablets:
� if you have severe breathing or chest problems
� if you are allergic to benzodiazepines or any of the other ingredients in Lorazepam
Tablets (see list under ‘What Lorazepam Tablets contain’)
� if you have myasthenia gravis (very weak or tired muscles)
� if you have serious liver problems
� if you suffer from sleep apnoea (breathing problems when you are asleep)
� if you are breast-feeding, since the drug may pass into breast milk.

If you have been only prescribed Lorazepam Tablets for anxiety and no other
medications, please consult with your doctor whether other medications should also
be prescribed.
