Doctor’s Overview

Dr. Noman Siddiqui – Consultant Psychiatrist, MBBS, FCPS (Psychiatry)

Klozepam (Clonazepam) is a medication commonly used in psychiatry for conditions such as panic attacks and seizures. It works by calming overactive brain signals, which helps reduce anxiety and control seizure activity. While it can be effective, psychiatrists generally emphasize that it should be used for short periods or under close medical supervision, as prolonged or unsupervised use may lead to dependence.
