About
Lorazepam acts on the central nervous system by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps regulate brain activity. By increasing the activity of GABA, lorazepam reduces neuronal excitability, resulting in a calming and sedative effect.
