It provides targeted local or systemic effects through the nostrils and is indicated for the treatment of anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. It is important to use this medication with caution, particularly in patients with a history of depression, suicidal thoughts, or substance abuse.

It is also important to monitor patients for signs of withdrawal if the medication is stopped abruptly. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe and may include seizures, psychosis, and even death.

It is advised to avoid activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating heavy machinery, until you understand how the medication affects you. Additionally, alcohol consumption should be avoided while on this medication, as it can exacerbate the risk of side effects.

Healthcare providers should note that Lorazepam 0.5 mg/0.1 ml Nasal Spray may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and antidepressants. Therefore, it is essential to review the patient's current medication list before prescribing this nasal spray.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
