Precautions

Inform your doctor if you are hypersensitive to Lorazepam or if you have other allergies. Inactive components in this product may trigger allergy reactions or other complications. For more information, consult your doctor. Inform your doctor about your medical history, particularly if you have: kidney problems, liver problems, glaucoma, breathing/lung problems (like sleep apnea), mood/mental disorders (such as psychosis, depression), or a family or personal history of a substance abuse problem (such as overuse or addiction to alcohol or drugs). Inform your doctor or dentist regarding all of the medicines you consume before undergoing surgery (including prescription, nonprescription and herbal medicines). Lorazepam's adverse effects, particularly impaired coordination and drowsiness, may be more severe in older people. Also, Lorazepam may not provide anxiety reduction in the elderly. In the elderly, it may have the reverse effect, causing symptoms such as mood/mental changes, sleeping issues, an increased interest in sex, or hallucinations. Coordination problems, fatigue, and sleeping issues can all raise the risk of falling. Lorazepam may not provide anxiety relief in children. In children, it may exert an opposite impact, eliciting symptoms such as shaking, agitation or hallucinations.
