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.
