What Is Lorazepam Intensol and How Does It Work?

Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine (a class of anxiolytic/sedative-hypnotic medicines). The "Intensol" oral concentrate is a 2 mg/mL liquid version of lorazepam, dosed with a calibrated oral syringe rather than swallowed as a tablet. It's FDA-approved for the management of anxiety disorders and for short-term relief of anxiety symptoms, including anxiety associated with depressive symptoms. Doctors often choose the concentrate specifically when a patient needs a liquid formulation — for example, someone with difficulty swallowing pills, a patient in hospice or palliative care, or a situation that calls for very precise, low-dose titration that a tablet can't easily provide.

Lorazepam is classified as a Schedule IV (C-IV) controlled substance, meaning it has recognized medical uses along with a real potential for misuse and dependence.

Lorazepam Intensol Cost Without Insurance

The brand-name Ativan Intensol product is no longer sold in the US; today lorazepam oral concentrate is available as a generic, so pricing depends entirely on which pharmacy fills it rather than on brand markup. Because generic pricing for a compounded-style liquid formulation like this can swing a surprising amount between pharmacies, it's worth comparing before you fill rather than assuming your regular pharmacy has the best price. Enter your ZIP code above to see today's price at pharmacies near you, and check back at refill time since prices can shift.

Lorazepam Intensol vs. Lorazepam Tablets and Other Options

If you don't specifically need a liquid formulation, your prescriber may have you on standard lorazepam tablets instead, which are dosed and taken the same way pharmacologically but swallowed rather than measured with a syringe. Other benzodiazepines sometimes prescribed for similar anxiety symptoms include clonazepam and alprazolam, and for patients who specifically need a liquid concentrate, diazepam Intensol is another oral concentrate option in the same drug class. These medications differ in how long they last and how they're typically used, so switching between them is a decision for your prescriber, not something to do on your own.

Because all of these are controlled substances in the same class, comparing them isn't just about cost — it's also about which one fits your specific symptoms and medical history.

Lorazepam Intensol Safety Information

Lorazepam Intensol carries boxed warnings: taking it together with opioids can cause profound sedation, slowed or stopped breathing, coma, and death, and benzodiazepines as a class carry a risk of abuse, misuse, and addiction that can lead to overdose or death. Your provider should assess your risk before prescribing and monitor you during treatment. Stopping lorazepam abruptly after prolonged use can cause withdrawal, including seizures, so any dose changes should be made under medical supervision.

• Can cause CNS depression, drowsiness, dizziness, and an increased fall risk, particularly in older adults
• Use only the calibrated oral syringe provided; mix the dose into liquid or semi-solid food and take it right away — don't store a mixed dose for later
• Should not be used in acute narrow-angle glaucoma or together with sodium oxybate

This is general information, not medical advice — talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether this medication and dose are right for you.
