Final answer:

Benzodiazepines like lorazepam (Ativan®) are a class of medications used to sedate, induce sleep, prevent seizures, and relieve anxiety. Some benzodiazepines do not have active metabolites and an example of such a drug is lorazepam (Ativan®)

Step-by-step explanation:

Benzo refers to benzodiazepines, a class of medications used to sedate, induce sleep, prevent seizures, and relieve anxiety. Not all benzodiazepines have active metabolites, meaning they do not break down into other compounds in the body that can produce additional effects. An example of a benzodiazepine without active metabolites is lorazepam (Ativan®). This medication is commonly used for its anxiolytic properties.
