KLONOPIN

Klonopin is the brand name for the medication clonazepam. It is a prescription drug that belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines. Klonopin is primarily used to treat certain types of seizures, panic disorder, and anxiety disorders. The drug works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA helps to calm excessive electrical activity in the brain, leading to a reduction in seizures and a calming effect on anxiety. .
