What is rivotril?

Rivotril is a brand name for the drug clonazepam, which belongs to a group of medications known as benzodiazepines. It is commonly used to treat seizures, anxiety disorders, and panic disorders. Rivotril works by enhancing the activity of a neurotransmitter in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which helps to calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety and seizures. It is only available with a prescription and should be used under the guidance of a doctor as it can be habit-forming and have serious side effects if misused. Common side effects of rivotril include drowsiness, dizziness, and coordination problems. It should not be taken with alcohol or other medications that can cause drowsiness.
