No, Valium and Ativan are different medications with different active ingredients. Valium is a trade name (brand name) for the drug "diazepam" and Ativan is a trade name for the drug "lorazepam." However, both diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan) belong to the same class of sedative hypnotic prescription medications known as benzodiazepines. Accordingly, diazepam and lorazepam have similar chemical/molecular structures and share many of the same therapeutic properties.

Is Ativan a form of Valium?
Ativan is in the same family as Valium. They are both Benzodiazepines. Ativan is about 10 times stronger in terms of DOSE than Valium. They are two different chemicals but have similar effects. Some make you sleepier, and some work more at anxiety. I think Ativan is better than Valium at reducing anxiety but Valium makes you sleepier. But they are both similar so you probably won't notice the difference.
Is Valium like lorazepam?
Valium (Diazepam) and Ativan (Lorazepam) are both benzodiazepine drugs. They are similar, but not the same.
If you have 10mg Valium for a dental appointment but you need 15mg can you add 1mg Ativan and get the same basic effect?
Most benzodiazepine equivalency charts show 10mg Valium = 1mg Ativan so it should work, HOWEVER, be cautious when subsitituting or combining benzos as effects are VERY relative to each person. Paradoxical reactions can occur in one benzo and not another. For example, My cousin can't take Valium- it makes her hyper and irritable, but 0.5mg Ativan knocks her out.
Is it ok to mix 5mg Valium and 1mg Ativan?
It it possible to take Valium (diazepam) and Ativan (lorazepam) at the same time however it is uncommon for both to be prescribed. However some doctors will prescribe Valium for continuous use, typically three times daily, and may give some Ativan to take as needed or panic attacks or insomnia. Keep in mind that Valium is a far less more potent drug than Ativan, 0.5- 1 mg is equivalent to 10 mg of Valium.

No they can not have any drugs Miyabi Armstrong Fraser Acutally, Valium is commonly used on dogs in vet offices. Ativan is in the same class of drugs (although used within a fairly different scope than Valium). I don't know if it can be used on dogs. Best to ask a veterinarian!!
