Lorazepam brands?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Lorazepam

Lorazepam is the generic name. In the United States and many other markets it’s sold under a handful of brand names (and often by multiple manufacturers). The most common ones are:

| Brand name | Manufacturer (US) | Notes |
|------------|-------------------|-------|
| Ativan | Pfizer | The original and most widely known brand. |
| Lorazepam | Various generics | Often sold under the generic name, but some compounding pharmacies and smaller manufacturers market it with the same name. |
| Lorazepam 1 mg | Various | Some pharmacies sell 1 mg tablets as a brand‑style name. |
| Lorazepam 0.5 mg | Various | Same as above, lower‑dose formulation. |

In other countries the naming can differ slightly:

- Australia & New Zealand – Ativan (Pfizer) and generic Lorazepam (manufactured by several local companies).
- UK – Lorazepam is the generic; the brand Ativan is also available, usually sold by a small number of pharmacies.
- Canada – Ativan (Pfizer) and generic Lorazepam sold under the generic name or by several pharmaceutical firms.

Key points

1. Lorazepam is the generic drug; all brand‑name versions contain the same active ingredient (0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, or 5 mg tablets or liquid).
2. The brand name Ativan is by far the most recognizable worldwide.
3. Other brand names are typically local or generic‑brand hybrids (e.g., “Lorazepam 1 mg” sold by a specific pharmacy chain).
