What Is The Expiry Date For Lorazepam Prescribed In 2011?
how long is a prescription of lorazepam good for. I found some in the closet and have had some anxiety today and was thinking of taking one. I do not normally take medications but this is left over from when I had to do some international flying a few years back. was prescribed 10/5/11

dear user , thank you for contacting HCM for your health related query - There is no fixed expiry date for any medicinal salt and it differs among various preparations and manufacturers and thus is mentioned on the wrapper/bottle of the medicine and practically it is affected from storage conditions too. Apart from it , it is not generally advisable to take lorazepam on your own for anxiety symptoms - the current symptomatlogy "may" be due to some other reason as well apart from your past condition - so it would be wise to visit a psychiatrist for the consultation , who may prescribe you some suitable anxiolytic medicine and/or some behavioral measures like relaxation exercises to deal with it .- hope i answered your query , any followup questions are welcome - if satisfied please rate the answer - Thank you
