Lorazepam
For an informed discussion with your doctor or pharmacist. This information collection is not a clinically validated interaction checker. Missing data do not establish safety. Do not change or stop prescribed medicines on the basis of this information. The findings apply to the specific conditions studied; laboratory and animal studies cannot be directly extrapolated to humans.
Active substance: Lorazepam
Examples of brand names: Tavor [DE]
ATC code: N05BA06
Main use (for orientation): Anxiety; seizures
Documented research summary
CL20 found no significant association between CBD dose and lorazepam concentrations. No isolated human cannabinoid pharmacokinetic evidence in the other titles screened; CHS/catatonia treatment does not automatically constitute a drug–drug interaction.
Uncertainties and limitations
A small subgroup does not establish equivalence. In vitro UGT-inhibition data alone do not establish a clinical increase in concentrations.
Separately recorded findings
1 separately recorded finding. Each statement applies to its documented study context.
CBD – clinical signals
Finding ID: B0066
Type of result: No / minor effect under the conditions studied
Observation: No concentration signal; p=0.2969.
Mechanism: PK observation
Study type: Observational study: no signal detected
Context studied: n=8.
Clinical interpretation: Not ruled out
Limitations and uncertainties: Context / limitations of CL20; a lack of statistical significance does not establish equivalence.
