Do not drive, operate machinery or perform potentially dangerous activities until you know how this medicine affects you. Seek urgent medical assistance for severe drowsiness, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness or signs of a serious allergic reaction.

Important Precautions

Lorazepam may cause physical or psychological dependence, particularly when used for prolonged periods or in higher-than-prescribed doses.

Avoid alcohol while taking Ativan SL, as alcohol may increase drowsiness and other central nervous system effects. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products and supplements you use—especially opioids, sleeping medicines, sedatives or other medicines that cause drowsiness.

Consult your healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, elderly, or have breathing difficulties, sleep apnoea, glaucoma, liver disease, kidney disease, depression or a history of substance dependence.
