What brand names does clonazepam come in?
Clonazepam is sold under multiple brand names in different countries. Commonly listed brand names include:
- Klonopin (U.S.)
- Rivotril (many countries)
Why are there different clonazepam brand names by country?
Brand-name availability varies because each market can approve different manufacturers and brand labels even when the active ingredient is the same (clonazepam). That’s why the same medication may appear under different names such as Klonopin vs. Rivotril depending on where it’s dispensed.
What should I look for on a prescription or label?
To avoid confusion, check the active ingredient on the label:
- Active ingredient: clonazepam
- Brand name: may be Klonopin, Rivotril, or another local label
- Strengths: vary by product (for example, 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, etc., depending on the country and formulation)
Is clonazepam also available as a generic?
Yes. In many places, clonazepam is available as a generic drug, so you may see “clonazepam” without a brand name even if the medication is the same.
