Mind behind Clonazepam

In 1995, Leo Sternbach who was a chemist was commissioned by the Hoffman La Roche Company to design a new drug that belonged to the class of benzodiazepines. Clonazepam was developed and patent in 1964 by a company named Hoffman La Roche; at that time there was a huge demand for benzodiazepines in the market. By 1975 this drug was available in the market to be sold for epileptic seizures and it was marketed by Roche. In the early 50s, they were originally prescribed for neurological disorders like epilepsy, anxiety attacks, and insomnia. Federal drug laws suggested physicians and psychiatrists prescribe this drug for specific disorders like panic disorders.

Purpose of Clonazepam and its dosage

Clonazepam is also used to treat drug addicts. It resists a drug addict from taking drugs as it goes through detox. It stops seizures and panic attacks by increasing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid. This chemical is responsible for sending signals through the nerves. Panic attacks and seizure is caused by the low amount in our body. Clonazepam increases the amount of this chemical in our bodies.

Clonazepam dosage highly depends upon the age of the patient, medical condition ( past or present), and how your body reacts toward the first dose.
