Ativan (Lorazepam) is a medication primarily used to manage anxiety disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines, which work by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain. This results in a calming effect, reducing anxiety, and promoting relaxation.
