Medical Description
Zona tablet is commonly prescribed to treat mood disorders like anxiety disorders and depression. Lowering the frequency of epilepsy (seizures) is also one of the uses of Zona tablets. All mood disorders affect the way a person feels and acts. There is no specific reason behind them, and sometimes common emotional reactions like worry, anger, etc., can trigger them.
The active ingredient of the Zona tablet is Clonazepam. The mode of action of Zona tablets is by lowering the abnormal activity of exciting nerve cells in the brain. It works by balancing certain chemical messengers and inducing feelings of calmness and well-being.
Zona tablets can cause behavioural changes and increase mood changes, suicidal thoughts and tendencies. If used long-term, monitoring the dosage is essential; it may also lead to physical dependency (return of symptoms when the medicine is stopped).

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
The Zona tablet consists of a single active ingredient: clonazepam. It is an antidepressant medication. It is also a tranquilliser. It functions by increasing the activity of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter (chemical messenger) in the brain. It lowers the abnormal or excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain. It also has antiepileptic (reduces seizures) and sedation activities. However, it doesn’t affect the levels of GABA in the brain.
