Clonazepam is a prescription medication used to treat anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and certain types of seizures. It belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines, which work by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter in the brain called GABA. This helps to calm the nervous system and reduce feelings of anxiety and panic. Clonazepam is available in tablet form and should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
