Lora Injection 2ml
Lora 4 MG Description
Lora Injection 2 ml is a prescription medication primarily used for status epilepticus (serious seizures that do not stop). It is also used before surgeries or procedures to cause drowsiness, decreas
e anxiety, and cause forgetfulness about the procedure or surgery. Status epilepticus is a condition in which seizures continue for a long time (more than 5 minutes), or a seizure follows immediately after another. It is a medical emergency. Lora Injection 2 ml reduces the abnormal and excessive nerve cell activity, which helps relax the brain and helps in stabilising the seizure. Lora Injection 2 ml is composed of lorazepam, which belongs to the benzodiazepine class of medicine. It has anti-anxiety, sedative, and anticonvulsant effects. Mode of action of Lora Injection 2 ml is by lowering neurological activity in the brain by increasing certain chemical messengers. Lora Injection is given as an injection under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Avoid using it unnecessarily or without medical advice as it may cause tolerance. Side effects of Lora Injection 2 ml include sedation (feeling sleepy), dizziness, confusion, blurred vision, muscle weakness, and sleepiness. This medicine may cause dependency if used for the long term. So, it is crucial to monitor its dosage. Directions of use of Lora Injection 2 ml should be strictly followed.
