Arotril Tablet 0.5 mg contains Clonazepam, a benzodiazepine medicine used to treat seizure disorders and panic disorder. It acts on the central nervous system (CNS) by enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring neurotransmitter that helps reduce excessive nerve activity in the brain.

Clonazepam is commonly prescribed for the management of epilepsy, including absence seizures, myoclonic seizures, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, as well as panic disorder with or without agoraphobia. The 0.5 mg strength is often used as an initial dose or for dose titration, allowing physicians to adjust treatment according to the patient's response. Because Clonazepam carries a risk of dependence and withdrawal symptoms, it should only be used under close medical supervision.
