Medicines contain active ingredients. They may also contain other, additional ingredients that help ensure the stability, safety and effectiveness of the medicine. Some may be used to prolong the life of the medicine.
Ativan contains:
- benzyl alcohol
- lorazepam
- polyethylene glycol 400

If you are not able to take any of the ingredients in your medicine, talk to your prescriber or pharmacist to see if they can suggest an alternative medicine. If you have reacted badly to Ativan before, do not take Ativan. Talk to your prescriber, pharmacist or nurse as soon as possible.
