This capsule can be taken with or without meals, preferably at the same time each day to keep a steady level of the drug in your body. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding the dose and duration, as this medicine has a potential for dependence.

Completing the full course of treatment is essential, even if you start to feel better.

Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, memory issues, reduced sexual desire, delayed ejaculation, and drowsiness. It may make you feel sleepy or lightheaded, so avoid driving or performing activities that require focus until you know how the medicine affects you. In rare cases, this medication may cause mood changes or suicidal thoughts, so inform your doctor immediately if you experience such symptoms.

Patients with liver problems should use this medicine cautiously. It is also important to tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking, as certain drugs can interfere with how this one works. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting the treatment.

How it works

Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine that enhances the action of GABA, a chemical messenger that reduces overactivity of nerve cells, leading to a calming effect.
