Medical 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 neurotransmitters 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.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Zapiz tablet acts on nerve cells to calm abnormal electrical activity within the brain. It is unknown how clonazepam works, but its effects are believed to be due to its ability to bind and enhance gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) affinity strongly. This neurotransmitter blocks the impulses between the nerve cells in the brain. Low gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels have been linked to anxiety, mood disorders, seizure disorders, and pain.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Medications used to treat anxiety such as other benzodiazepines (diazepam and oxazepam).
  • Medications used to treat seizures (anticonvulsants) such as phenytoin.
  • Medications used to treat depression (antidepressants) like nortriptyline, amitriptyline, and imipramine.
  • Medications used to treat allergies (antihistamines) that cause sleepiness like diphenhydramine.

  • Medications used for aiding sleep, such as zolpidem.
  • Some medications are used in the treatment of cancer (chemotherapy).
  • Medications used to treat mental health conditions (clozapine and thioridazine).
