Arotril Tablet 1 mg contains Clonazepam, a benzodiazepine medicine used to treat seizure disorders and panic disorder. It works by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring neurotransmitter in the brain that helps reduce excessive nerve activity, producing a calming and anticonvulsant effect.

Clonazepam is commonly prescribed for various forms of epilepsy, including absence seizures, myoclonic seizures, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It is also effective in the management of panic disorder with or without agoraphobia. Because Clonazepam can cause dependence if used for prolonged periods, it should only be taken under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
