Product Description

Clonazepam is an anti-anxiety medication that is a part of the benzodiazepine family. Clonazepam acts by intensifying the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter that suppresses brain activity. Excessive brain activity is thought to manifest as anxiety or other psychiatric disorders.

Seizure Disorders

Klonopin is useful alone, or in conjunction with other seizure treatments, in the management of akinetic seizures, petit mal seizures, myoclonus, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Some studies have shown that up to 30% of patients have reported a loss of anticonvulsant activity. This has been shown to occur, in most cases, within 3 months of taking the medication. In some cases it is necessary to make adjustments to dosage.

Panic Disorder

Klonopin is also used in the treatment of panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia.

Dosage

Your doctor will prescribe your exact dosage. The dose of clonazepam is tailored to the patient's requirements.
