Clonazepam, commonly known by the brand name Klonopin, is a prescription medication that belongs to the benzodiazepine class. It is primarily used to treat seizure disorders such as epilepsy and to manage panic disorder and certain types of anxiety. Clonazepam works by enhancing the activity of GABA, a neurotransmitter that slows down brain signals, creating a calming and stabilizing effect on the central nervous system. Because of this, it helps prevent abnormal electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures and reduces sudden episodes of intense fear or panic.
