The drug Lorazepan is marketed under the names Alzapam, Ativan,
Loraz, Lorazepam, Intensol. Ativan is the safest form of this
type of drug because it has less of an effect on the liver than
other benzodiazepines, which means that a patient can take it in
conjunction with other liver affecting medications like birth
control pills, anti-abuse drugs, propranolol, and ulcer
medications. However, Ativan also has dangerous side effects. If
you or a loved one suffer from any of these harmful side
effects, stop taking the drug immediately and contact both a
doctor and a lawyer. Drugs are meant to improve your health and
wellbeing and if Ativan threatens you or makes you sicker you
have a right to take your injuries to court.
Ativan is a mild tranquilizer with many different applications,
and depending on how it is used it can cause different side
effects. Ativan is commonly used to relieve anxiety, to calm
manic schizophrenics, and as an intravenous pre-surgery
relaxant. Ativan may also be used to cure such diverse maladies
as alcohol withdrawal symptoms, to treat serial seizures in
children, to promote amnesia, and to relax the severe vomiting
of patients after chemotherapy.
The dangerous side effects of Ativan, however, are just as
diverse. Many patients suffer from allergic reactions that
manifest in difficulty breathing, closing of the throat, and
swollen lips, face, and tongue. Some people develop open sores
in the mouth and throat or yellowed skin and eyes or a
widespread rash. Some patients even suffer from hallucinations,
severe confusion, and changes in vision. As you can imagine,
these side effects seriously threaten the quality of life of
patients using Ativan. In addition, it has negative reactions
with many ordinary drugs like antacids. ga
