Ativan ingredients?

Ativan is the brand name for lorazepam. The active ingredient is lorazepam. The inactive (excipients) ingredients vary by formulation (tablet vs. injectable) and by country/manufacturer.

- Tablets (e.g., 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg): typical excipients people see in many lorazepam tablets include lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, starch (corn starch), povidone, talc, and magnesium stearate. The exact list can differ by lot and country.
- Injection: the injectable form uses lorazepam in a solvent system, often including propylene glycol and water for injection; the exact inactive ingredients can vary and may differ if you have a preservative-free vial versus a multi-dose vial.

Because inactive ingredients can differ, the best way to be sure is to check the specific product label or patient information leaflet for your country and form. If you tell me your country and whether you have the tablet or injectable form (and the exact strength), I can give a more precise rundown or help you interpret the label. If you have a photo or text of the ingredients list, you can share it and I’ll walk you through it.
