Klonopin (Clonazepam)
€278.23 – €434.25
Klonopin is the brand name for the medication Clonazepam, which is a benzodiazepine used primarily to treat seizure disorders and anxiety disorders. It works by calming the brain and nerves, making it an effective treatment for conditions like panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and seizures.
Clonazepam is typically prescribed for short-term use due to its potential for dependence and misuse.
How Does Klonopin (Clonazepam) Work?
Klonopin works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter in the brain that inhibits brain activity. GABA has a calming effect, which helps reduce the overactivity of nerves in the brain, resulting in reduced anxiety, muscle relaxation, and a seizure-suppressing effect.
