0.05 mg/kg intramuscularly (IM) for 1 dose; 2 hours before surgery; not to exceed 4 mg (2 mg in elderly), OR 0.044 mg/kg intravenously (IV) for 1 dose; 15-20 minutes before surgery; not to exceed 4 mg (2 mg in elderly) Status Epilepticus - Adult Usual 4 mg/dose slow IV at...
Such reactions may be more likely to occur in the elderly [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. Discontinue LOREEV XR if the patient experiences these reactions. Allergic Reactions To FD&C Yellow No. 5 (Tartrazine) LOREEV XR 1 mg capsules contain FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine), which may cause allergic...
In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, and lower doses may be sufficient in these patients (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Adverse Reactions/Side Effects Most adverse reactions to benzodiazepines, including CNS effects and respiratory depression, are dose dependent, ...
Elderly Following single intravenous doses of 1.5 to 3 mg of Lorazepam Injection, mean total body clearance of lorazepam decreased by 20% in 15 elderly subjects of 60 to 84 years of age compared to that in 15 younger subjects of 19 to 38 years of age. Consequently, no dosage adjustment ...
Lorazepam should be used with caution in patients with compromised respiratory function (e.g., COPD, sleep apnea syndrome). Elderly or debilitated patients may be more susceptible to the sedative effects of lorazepam. Therefore, these patients should be monitored frequently and have their dosage adj...
It can thus be hypothesized that the known difference in sex hormone levels between genders, with progesterone and estrogen levels being higher in women, may put women at an increased risk of hyperventilation through the stimulatory effects on breathing. This may put them at an increased risk of...
[16]. The effects of lorazepam 2.5mg and diazepam 0.3mg/kg on explicit and implicit memory tasks have been examined in 24 men and 24 women randomly allocated to lorazepam, diazepam, or placebo [10]. An implicit word-stem completion task and explicit memory tasks of immediate and delayed ...
