you can ask for generic clonazepam

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

Zicam contains clonazepam. Other names are Melzap, clonotril, lonazep, zapiz, ozepam, clon, epitril, clonapik, clon, clonamed, clonapam and so on.

You can ask the chemist for clonazepam.

However 0.25 mg is low dose and no need to worry if you miss a single dose. There will be no major issue.

Note: It is a strict prescription medicine. It must be used under medical supervision and with legal written prescription by doctor only.I have given name considering your situation and with belief that you are going to follow your treating doctor's advise strictly.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,

Dr.Chintan Solanki.
