lorazepam and Ataxia

lorazepam has been researched along with Ataxia in 6 studies

Lorazepam: A benzodiazepine used as an anti-anxiety agent with few side effects. It also has hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and considerable sedative properties and has been proposed as a preanesthetic agent.

Ataxia: Impairment of the ability to perform smoothly coordinated voluntary movements. This condition may affect the limbs, trunk, eyes, pharynx, larynx, and other structures. Ataxia may result from impaired sensory or motor function. Sensory ataxia may result from posterior column injury or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES. Motor ataxia may be associated with CEREBELLAR DISEASES; CEREBRAL CORTEX diseases; THALAMIC DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; injury to the RED NUCLEUS; and other conditions.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" To assess pharmacokinetic and neurochemical aspects of tolerance, lorazepam (LRZ) was administered chronically to mice via implantable osmotic pumps and rotarod ataxia, plasma and brain LRZ concentrations, benzodiazepine receptor binding in vivo and in vitro, chloride channel binding and muscimol-stimulated chloride uptake were examined in various brain regions over a 14-day period."3.67Chronic benzodiazepine administration. I. Tolerance is associated with benzodiazepine receptor downregulation and decreased gamma-aminobutyric acidA receptor function. ( Barnhill, JG; Greenblatt, DJ; Miller, LG; Shader, RI, 1988)
"Lorazepam was most frequently ingested (13/41 identified drugs, 32%)."1.30Pediatric benzodiazepine ingestion resulting in hospitalization. ( Wiley, CC; Wiley, JF, 1998)
