Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Clonazepam helps increase the activity of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA). It is a chemical that​​ inhibits neurotransmission and, in turn, reduces neuronal excitability. If a person does not have enough Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), they may get excited. This may cause panic attacks or seizures. Clonazepam thus helps in producing more Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) in the body. This will help in reducing seizures and panic attacks.

Interactions
