Clonium Tablet 1 mg contains Clonazepam, a benzodiazepine medication primarily used for the management of seizure disorders and panic disorders. It acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to produce a calming effect by enhancing the activity of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This helps in reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain and controlling anxiety-related symptoms.
