A member asked:
After taking 1 dose of .50 mg of ativan, (lorazepam) how many days do i need to wait before safely consuming alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ativan (lorazepam): Ativan's usual duration of action is around 6 hours. Although the drug may still remain since it has a half life of 10-20 hrs. That means the longer you take this medication, the longer it remains in your system. Make sure to limit consumption to as little as possible once in a while because these both are depressants.
