Brief Answer:
Its Schedule 4 (IV-roman numeral)

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

thanks for writing back.

I meant to say its a schedule 4 drug.

Lorazepam is a Schedule IV (4) drug under the Controlled Substances Act in the U.S. and internationally under the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances. It is a Schedule IV (4) drug under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act in Canada.

Hence, its illegal marketing it without a valid prescription.

Answered by Dr. Raju A.T (15 hours later)
Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry. Since its a prescription only drug of schedule 4 its unethical and illegal to prescribe or market the drug online.

The drug is huge potential of addiction and has a wide side effect profile. Hence, no doctor should advice it without examining the patient and confirming the indication.

I hope you understand. This is to avoid litigations.

Wish you good health.
