Product Overview
Clonazepam Tablets IP (Indian Pharmacopoeia) is an oral medication widely prescribed for its anticonvulsant, anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing), and muscle-relaxant properties. It is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant that helps stabilize abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
Key Indications
