Clonium Tablet 2 mg contains Clonazepam, a benzodiazepine class medication used for the treatment of seizure disorders and panic disorders. It acts on the central nervous system to produce a calming effect by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter. This higher-strength formulation is typically prescribed for patients requiring a stronger dose for effective symptom control under strict medical supervision.

Clonazepam enhances the effect of GABA in the brain, which suppresses abnormal neuronal activity. This results in anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, sedative, and muscle relaxant properties, helping control seizures and reduce anxiety symptoms.

• Usually taken once or twice daily as directed by a physician

• Do not abruptly stop taking the medication; gradual dose reduction is required to prevent withdrawal symptoms
