Colonipin
Were you looking for information about Klonopin? Colonipin is a common misspelling of Klonopin.
People who have panic disorder or various types of epileptic seizures may benefit from using Klonopin® (clonazepam). The prescription medication works by enhancing the effects of a certain chemical in the brain, which can have a calming effect on the body. The medicine comes in the form of a tablet or as an orally disintegrating tablet, and it is usually taken two or three times daily. Currently, both brand-name and generic versions of the drug are available.
Most people tolerate the medicine well; and even when side effects occur, they are usually minor and can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. Some side effects of this drug include drowsiness, coordination problems, and behavior problems. Before taking Klonopin, let your healthcare provider know if you have any other medical conditions, such as depression, glaucoma, or liver disease. Also, be sure to tell your healthcare provider if you have any allergies to any drugs, foods, dyes, or preservatives.
