Lorazepam, commonly marketed under the brand name Ativan, belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, which are commonly used for the short-term treatment of anxiety disorders. Since lorazepam is a strong sedative drug, it is usually prescribed as a remedy for insomnia. In addition, this medication serves as an anticonvulsant, which can be used for the relief of seizures and status epilepticus.
