lorazepam has been researched along with Body Weight in 12 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.

Body Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Aripiprazole was associated with beneficial effects on mood in patients with bipolar depression, and appears well tolerated with very small changes in mean body weight."5.13Beneficial acute antidepressant effects of aripiprazole as an adjunctive treatment or monotherapy in bipolar patients unresponsive to mood stabilizers: results from a 16-week open-label trial. ( Bria, P; Janiri, L; Mazza, M; Pecora, RD; Squillacioti, MR, 2008)
" The symptoms 'loss of body weight' and 'decrease in food intake' appeared to be more sensitive in benzodiazepine withdrawal: they were dose dependently present over the whole dosage range (2."1.29Tolerance and withdrawal after chronic lorazepam treatment in rats. ( de Groot, G; Jansen van't Land, C; van der Laan, JW, 1993)
" Flupirtine yielded a dose-response curve with an ED50 of 3."1.28Investigations with the novel non-opioid analgesic flupirtine in regard to possible benzodiazepine-like abuse inducing potential. ( Borbe, HO; Nickel, B; Szelenyi, I, 1990)
"Dogs, surgically implanted with a gastric fistula, were chronically dosed with diazepam or lorazepam."1.27Physical dependence on diazepam and lorazepam in the dog. ( Cherian, S; Martin, WR; McNicholas, LF, 1983)
"Dogs, surgically implanted with a chronic gastric fistula, were chronically dosed with N-desmethyldiazepam (32 mg/kg/day) in four divided doses to attain N-desmethyldiazepam plasma levels comparable to those observed in dogs dependent on diazepam (60 mg/kg/day)."1.27N-desmethyldiazepam physical dependence in dogs. ( Martin, WR; McNicholas, LF; Pruitt, TA, 1985)
