Klonopin

Klonopin, containing the active ingredient clonazepam, is a benzodiazepine medication primarily used to treat seizure disorders and panic attacks. It works by enhancing the effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter that inhibits brain activity, leading to a calming effect. Klonopin is known for its long duration of action, making it suitable for patients requiring sustained anxiety relief or seizure control throughout the day. Available in tablet form, it may cause side effects such as drowsiness, coordination issues, and potential dependence, necessitating careful management by healthcare providers.
