Individualize weight-based dose according to clinical efficacy and tolerability
Doses above 5 mg/day should be administered in divided doses twice daily (5 mg dose can be administered as a single daily dose)
May be administered whole, or crushed and mixed in applesauce
When discontinuing, withdraw gradually; taper by decreasing the total daily dose by 5-10 mg/day on a weekly basis until discontinued
Adult Dose
Seizures Indicated for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) in patients aged 2 years or older >30 kg: Initiate at 5 mg PO q12hr; may titrate as tolerated up to 40 mg/day divided q12hr Dose escalation should not proceed more rapidly than once weekly Hepatic impairment Limited data to characterize the effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics; proceed with low and slow titration Mild-to-moderate (Child-Pugh 5-9): Starting dose should be 5 mg/day and titrated according to weight, but to half the typical adult dose; additional titration to the maximum dose (20 mg/day or 40 mg/day),...

Seizures
Indicated for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) in patients aged 2 years or older
30 kg
Starting dose: 5 mg PO q12hr; titrate as tolerated up to 40 mg PO daily
After 7 days, may increase to 10 mg PO q12hr; if needed, may increase to 20 mg PO q12hr after an additional 7 days
Renal Dose
Renal impairment
Mild or moderate renal impairment: No dose adjustment required
Severe renal impairment or ESRD: No experience
Contraindication
Hypersensitivity; history of drug dependence; myasthaenia gravis; pregnancy (1st trimester), lactation; serious liver damage; sleep apnoea syndrome; impaired respiratory function.
Mode of Action
Clobazam binds to one or more specific GABA receptors at several sites within the CNS including the limbic system and reticular formation. Increased permeability of neuronal membrane to chloride ions results in GABA's inhibitory effect leading to hyperpolarisation and stabilisation.
Precaution
May impair ability to perform skilled tasks and hazardous activities; elderly; renal or hepatic impairment; alcoholics; obesity; withdrawal should be gradual.
Lactation: Excreted in breast milk; effects of exposure on infants unknown

Pregnancy Category Note
Pregnancy There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women; available data suggest that the class of benzodiazepines is not associated with marked increases in risk for congenital anomalies; although some early epidemiological studies suggested a relationship between benzodiazepine drug use in pregnancy and congenital anomalies such as cleft lip and or palate, these studies had considerable limitations; more recently completed studies of benzodiazepine use in pregnancy have not consistently documented elevated risks for specific congenital anomalies; there is insufficient evidence to assess effect of benzodiazepine pregnancy exposure on neurodevelopment There are clinical considerations regarding exposure to benzodiazepines during...
... Show moreInteraction
Increased hepatic clearance of clobazam when administered with phenytoin, phenobarbital or carbamazepine. Cimetidine may increase levels of clobazam.
Potentially Fatal: Concurrent alcohol, hypnotics and sedative antidepressants can potentiate CNS side effects of clobazam
