How it Works

• Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine with a short-acting effect which binds at many locations within the CNS to stereospecific benzodiazepine receptors on the postsynaptic GABA neuron (including the limbic system, reticular formation).
•  Increased permeability of the neuronal membrane to chloride ions increases the inhibitory activity of GABA, resulting in hyperpolarisation and stabilization.
