Clonazepam 2mg

Description

What is Clonazepam?

Clonazepam 2mg is an FDA-approved treatment for seizure disorders in both adults and children, and panic disorders. The medication belongs to a class of medicines known as benzodiazepines. The clonazepam branded medication, Klonopin, was approved for medical use several years ago; but there are generic versions of this medication available as well.

A generic medicine is an exact copy of the branded version because it uses the same active ingredient. The only differences between generics and brands are their appearance, branding, and cost. Generic tablets are significantly cheaper, but they offer the same effects as brand-name medication. These cost-efficient alternatives to branded medicines are made available on the pharmaceutical market after the patent of the original expires.

How Clonazepam UK Works

This anti-anxiety medication works by increasing the levels of a neurochemical in the brain named gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to interrupt seizures, relieve anxiety and relax tense muscles. It belongs to the benzodiazepine class of medications and therefore, like other benzodiazepines, functions by affecting the GABA neurotransmitter.

GABA is the primary neurotransmitter of the nervous system, and its principal role is to block certain chemical messages in the brain. This medication works to bind to the receptors of GABA to increase its effectiveness. By doing this, it decreases abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizure activity increases electrical activity in the brain, so clonazepam medication reduces seizures by promoting a calming sensation.
