Were you looking for information about Klonopin? Kolonipin is a common misspelling of Klonopin.
If you experience certain
types of seizures or
panic disorder, your healthcare provider may prescribe Klonopin
® (
clonazepam). As part of a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines, Klonopin works by affecting a specific chemical within in the brain known as
gamma-aminobutyric acid (
GABA). Klonopin helps to enhance the effects of GABA, which reduces
anxiety, relaxes the muscles, and causes sleepiness. The medicine comes in a tablet form (or as an orally disintegrating tablet) that is taken by mouth two or three times a day. As with any medication, it is possible to take too much Klonopin. Seek immediate medical attention if you overdose on Klonopin. Symptoms of a
Klonopin overdose can include confusion, slow reflexes, and a coma.
