Clonazepam is a prescription medication that belongs to the benzodiazepine class of drugs. It is primarily used to treat anxiety disorders, seizures, and panic attacks. Clonazepam is available in various forms, including tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, and an orally disintegrating wafer. This medication works by enhancing the activity of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps to reduce anxiety and seizures.
