Ativan 1 mg is a medication that your doctor prescribes to help with anxiety disorders and those pesky short-term feelings of stress and tension. Each tablet packs 1 mg of lorazepam, which is a type of benzodiazepine that helps to soothe your central nervous system. It works quickly to provide relief and is usually recommended for short-term use to prevent any risk of dependence. Remember, it’s important to take it under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional.
