Lonazep 2mg Tablet

Product Introduction

Lonazep 2mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat epilepsy (seizures) and anxiety disorder. It helps to reduce abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells and calms the brain.

It may be taken with or without food, but at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the body. This medicine should be taken strictly in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor as it has a high potential for habit-forming.
