Product Description

Clobazam information from DrugsUpdate 

P - Contraindicated in pregnancy
L - Contraindicated in lactation
Clobazam, (marketed under the brand names Frisium and Urbanol), is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative.
Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacokinetics

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.


Absorption
Well absorbed from the GI tract (oral); peak plasma concentrations after 1-4 hours.

Distribution
Rapidly crosses the blood-brain barrier. Protein-binding: 85%.

Metabolism

Hepatic by demethylation and hydroxylation.

Excretion
Urine (as unchanged drug and metabolites); 18- 42 hours (elimination half-life).
