What does it do?

Clonazepam is a drug that belongs to the benzodiazepine class, primarily used for the prevention and treatment of seizures and convulsions. It plays a role in controlling seizures by inhibiting excessive excitation in the nervous system.

Clonazepam enhances the action of the neurotransmitter GABA in the brain, reducing excessive excitation of nerve cells. This results in the inhibition of the neural activity that causes seizures and convulsions, alleviating symptoms.
