Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Ativan acts on the brain and nerves, that is, the central nervous system, to produce relaxing effects. This medication works by elevating the GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) neurotransmitter in the body. This neurotransmitter is responsible for blocking the impulses from nerves to the brain. That makes it effective as an anti-seizure and anti-anxiety medicine. However, Ativan can cause addiction and can have severe withdrawal symptoms. Thus always take it and stop it only after consulting your doctor.
