Rivotril is a brand name for the drug clonazepam, which belongs to the benzodiazepine class of medications. Like Ativan (lorazepam), clonazepam is primarily prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorder, seizures, and sometimes other conditions like restless legs syndrome (RLS).
Uses Anxiety Disorders: Rivotril is commonly prescribed to manage symptoms of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder. Seizure Disorders: It is used as an anticonvulsant medication to control certain types of seizures, particularly absence seizures (also known as petit mal seizures), myoclonic seizures, and akinetic seizures. Panic Disorder: Rivotril is often used as a long-term treatment for panic disorder, helping to reduce the frequency and severity of panic attacks.
