Lorazepam 3 MG is a trusted benzodiazepine medication known for its effectiveness in managing anxiety disorders and related conditions. Each tablet contains 3 milligrams of Lorazepam, a potent compound that works by enhancing the calming effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. This medication provides relief from symptoms of anxiety, promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being.
Lorazepam belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It is thought that benzodiazepines work by enhancing the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.
Lorazepam is used in adults and children at least 12 years old to treat anxiety disorders.
Lorazepam is also used to treat insomnia caused by anxiety or temporary situational stress.
Lorazepam is sometimes used to treat nausea and vomiting from cancer treatment and to control agitation caused by alcohol withdrawal.
This is the best pharmacy site I have come across in a while and they are superb. The communication and the next day delivery is perfect. As for this medication, they are strong so I would take it slow with them. I have a high benzo tolerance and took 12mg and I was extremely relaxed and chilled with a hint of nod, so take your time.
