Drug Mode of Action ::  

Lorazepam is a short acting benzodiazepine. It increases neuronal membrane permeability to Cl ions by binding to stereospecific benzodiazepine receptors on the postsynaptic GABA neuron w/in the CNS (including the limbic system, reticular formation) and enhancing the GABA inhibitory effects resulting in hyperpolarisation and stabilisation.

Drug Interactions ::

Drugs that affect the CNS (e.g. barbiturates, phenothiazines, antidepressants, MAOIs) may have additive CNS effects. Scopolamine may increase sedation, hallucinations and irrational behaviour. May reduce sedative and anxiolytic effect w/ caffeine, theophylline or aminophylline. May increase plasma level w/ Na valproate or probenecid.
