Lorax tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat anxiety disorders. Lorazepam is the active ingredient of the medication. Lorazepam is an anxiolytic (medicine that reduces anxiety) class of medi

cations. It acts by interfering with the natural state of certain neurotransmitters or brain chemicals called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). Lorazepam binds to these GABA receptors and enhances the GABA enhanced synaptic inhibition, responsible for its calmness, muscle relaxation, and sedation effects. This tablet also helps tackle your sleeping problems that arise from anxiety disorders. The continuous use of this tablet can lead to physical and psychological dependence and has the potential to be abused, misused, or overdosed.
