Dom Lorazepam How to Take

Lorazepam belongs to the class of medications called benzodiazepines. Lorazepam is used for the short-term relief of the symptoms of excessive anxiety. It works by slowing down the communication between the nerves in the brain (i.e., the central nervous system).

Some people experience some improvement in anxiety about half an hour after taking lorazepam. Injectable lorazepam can be used as an initial treatment for the control of prolonged seizures (status epilepticus).

Dom Lorazepam may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Dom Lorazepam may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Dom Lorazepam may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Dom Lorazepam for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Dom Lorazepam, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Dom Lorazepam without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Dom Lorazepam to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Dom Lorazepam if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Dom Lorazepam Dosage

Anxiety: The recommended starting dose of lorazepam for adults is 2 mg per day, given in divided doses. The dose is individualized according to your specific needs and response to the medication. This dose can be increased by your doctor to as high as a total of 6 mg per day in 2 to 4 divided doses.

If you are taking the sublingual tablets, place the tablet under the tongue. The medication will dissolve in about 20 seconds. You should not swallow for at least 2 minutes to allow the medication to be absorbed into the body.

Seizures: The dose of injectable lorazepam for seizures is based on body weight and given by a trained health care provider in a hospital.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Dom Lorazepam exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you have been taking Dom Lorazepam regularly, do not stop taking the medication without speaking with your doctor. A gradual reduction in dose is recommended when stopping Dom Lorazepam to avoid withdrawal effects.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store lorazepam tablets at room temperature, protect from light and moisture, and keep them out of the reach of children. The lorazepam injection is stored in the fridge.

  • headache
  • irritability
