The list of benzodiazepines can be divided into 3 groups based on the duration of their action and the speed of the onset of action. Paradoxical reactions (anxiety, excitation, agitation, hostility, aggression, rage), Use of injectable dosage form in premature infants (contains benzyl alcohol), Concomitant use of benzodiazepines, including lorazepam, and opioids may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death (see BBW), Advise both patients and caregivers about the risks of respiratory depression and sedation when lorazepam is used with opioids; advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until the effects of concomitant use with the opioid have been determined, Use of benzodiazepines, including lorazepam, both used alone and in combination with other CNS depressants, may lead to potentially fatal respiratory depression, Not recommended for use in patients with primary depressive disorder or psychosis, Injection contains benzyl alcohol associated with potentially fatal "gasping syndrome" in neonates and an increased incidence of kernicterus, particularly in small preterm infants; if patient requires more than recommended dosages or other medications containing this preservative, practitioner must consider daily metabolic load of benzyl alcohol from combined sources, Prolonged use may lead to physical and psychological dependence especially in patients with history of alcohol or drug abuse; risk of dependence is decreased with short-term treatment (eg, 2-4 weeks); evaluate need for continued treatment prior to extending therapy duration, Use of drug, particularly in patients at elevated risk, necessitates counseling about risks and proper use of drug along with monitoring for signs and symptoms of abuse, misuse, and addiction; do not exceed recommended dosing frequency, Avoid or minimize concomitant use of CNS depressants and other substances associated with abuse, misuse, and addiction (eg, opioid analgesics, stimulants); advise patients on proper disposal of unused drug; if a substance use disorder is suspected, evaluate patient and institute (or refer them for) early treatment, as appropriate, For patients using treated more frequently than recommended, to reduce risk of withdrawal reactions, use a gradual taper to discontinue therapy (a patient-specific plan should be used to taper the dose), Patients at an increased risk of withdrawal adverse reactions after benzodiazepine discontinuation or rapid dosage reduction include those who take higher dosages, and those who have had longer durations of use, In some cases, benzodiazepine users have developed a protracted withdrawal syndrome with withdrawal symptoms lasting weeks to more than 12 months, Use caution in patients with history of suicide attempt or drug abuse, Do not withdraw abruptly after prolonged use; terminate dosage gradually, Use caution in patients with impaired gag reflex, May cause CNS depression, impairing physical and mental abilities; caution patients to not operate dangerous machinery or motor vehicles, Use caution in patients with respiratory disease, including COPD or sleep apnea, Hyperactive or aggressive behavior and other paradoxical reactions reported with use, Caution patients that tolerance for alcohol and other CNS depressants will be diminished, There is a pregnancy registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in woman exposed to psychiatric medications; healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the National Pregnancy Registry for Psychiatric Medications at 1-866-961-2388 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/pregnancyregistry/Neonates born to mothers using benzodiazepines late in pregnancy have been reported to experience symptoms of sedation and/or neonatal withdrawal; available data from published observational studies of pregnant women exposed to benzodiazepines do not report a clear association with benzodiazepines and major birth defects, Benzodiazepines cross the placenta and may produce respiratory depression, hypotonia, and sedation in neonates; monitor neonates exposed to this medication during pregnancy or labor for signs of sedation, respiratory depression, hypotonia, and feeding problems, Monitor neonates exposed to therapy during pregnancy for signs of withdrawal; manage these neonates accordingly, Advise pregnant females who are administered this medication late in pregnancy that therapy can result in sedation (respiratory depression, lethargy, hypotonia) and/or withdrawal symptoms (hyperreflexia, irritability, restlessness, tremors, inconsolable crying, and feeding difficulties) in newborns; instruct patients to inform their healthcare provider if they are pregnant, There are insufficient data regarding obstetrical safety of parenteral lorazepam, including use in cesarean section; such use, therefore, is not recommended, This drug is present in breast milk; there are reports of sedation.
