Thermal decomposition of lorazepam begins by lose of a water mole between two groups NH-OH and occurs at different temperatures depending on the formes of polymorphs. Melting temperature of a form can be determined only if it is below that of decomposition.The thermoanalytical and spectral study of lorazepam commercial drugs (a) and (b) recrystallisation product at 20~ in benzine (c), in carbon tetrachlorid (d), in acetonitrile (e) weJ:e carried ont.Thermal behaviour, RX diffraction, IR spectroscopy allow us to identify polymorph (a, b, c) and two solvates (d and e). The solvates stoechiometry (d and e) has been determined by thermogravimetry (3-2) d, (2-1) e, and confirmed by magnetic nuclear resonance for (e).
