Zapiz 1mg Tablet
Zapiz 1 MG Description
Zapiz tablet belongs to the class of benzodiazepines. The active ingredient in the Zapiz tablet is clonazepam. It is thought that benzodiazepines work by enhancing the activity of certain neurotransm
itters in the brain. Zapiz tablet treats certain seizure disorders (including absence seizures or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome) in adults and children. Zapiz is used to treat panic disorder (including agoraphobia) in adults. It calms and sedates and may be used to treat anxiety, as an anticonvulsant, or for its sedative effects. The medicine should be used with caution and under medical supervision and guidance as misuse of clonazepam can cause addiction, overdose, or death. Zapiz tablet can slow or stop your breathing, primarily in case of recent use of alcohol, any opioid medicine or other medication that may cause slowing of breath.
