Normally Take Ativan. Can I Take Librax 25mg In Place Of It?
I normally take Ativan .5mg and cannot pick up my script until tomorrow afternoon. I have a green and white capsule with Barr 159 on it. I believe it is Librax 25mg. Could I take this until tomorrow afternoon when I pick up my prescription and get it filled?

Greetings !
Well the answer is no because librax has two components in it namely chlordiazepoxide and clidinium, while the former component is a benzodiazepine class drug similar to Ativan but the latter component is diffierent class drug which will not be a suitable replacement for Ativan.
So better will be to wait for tomorrow's refill and anyways it is more likely that you may not face any problem while waiting for tomorrow's refill.
I hope this makes sense.
Wish you all the best.
