⚙️ How It Works

Clonazepam enhances the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) — a natural chemical messenger in the brain responsible for reducing overactive nerve signals.
By increasing GABA’s calming effect, Clonazepam helps:

Prevent and control seizures

Reduce panic attacks

Promote muscle relaxation

Induce a sense of calm and mental stability

The maximum daily dose should not exceed 4 mg to 6 mg, unless advised by a doctor.

Tablets are taken orally, with or without food, and swallowed whole with water.
