4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
ATIVAN (lorazepam) is useful in the therapy of most disorders in which anxiety
is a major component. Anxiety or tension associated with the stress of everyday
life usually does not require treatment with an anxiolytic.
Treatment of moderate to severe anxiety. Treatment of insomnia associated with
anxiety. Pre-medication before surgery.
4.2 Dose and method of administration
ATIVAN is administered orally. For optimal results, dose, frequency of
administration and duration of therapy should be individualised according to
patient response. A short course of up to three weeks is recommended. The
physician should periodically reassess the usefulness of the medication for
the individual patient. Dosage should be individualised for maximum beneficial
effect. In patients previously treated with anxiolytic agents, higher initial dosages
of ATIVAN may be indicated. Where to buy Ativan (Lorazepam) online in New Zealand & Australia
The average daily dosage for treatment of anxiety is 2-3 mg administered in
divided doses, however, this may range between 1 and 10 mg.
Dosages higher than 10 mg daily have been successfully employed in
hospitalised cases, especially as adjunctive therapy in psychosis and severe
depression.

For insomnia due to anxiety or transient situational stress, a single daily dose of
1-2 mg may be given, usually at bedtime.
For elderly or debilitated patients, an initial dosage of 1 or 2 mg/day in divided
doses is recommended, to be adjusted as needed and tolerated.
The need for continued therapy with ATIVAN in patients who have been
taking medication for several weeks should be evaluated, periodically.
For pre-surgical medication, a dosage of 2-4 mg of ATIVAN is recommended the
night before surgery and/or 1-2 hours prior to the surgical procedure. Where to buy Ativan (Lorazepam) online in New Zealand & Australia
