What is apo clobazam?

Apo clobazam is a medication used to treat anxiety, seizures, and other conditions related to the nervous system. It belongs to the benzodiazepine class of drugs and works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter in the brain that helps regulate anxiety and seizure activity.

Apo clobazam is available in tablet form and is taken orally. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the condition being treated, the severity of symptoms, and the patient's age and overall health.

Like other benzodiazepines, apo clobazam can have side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and impaired coordination. It can also be habit-forming if taken for longer periods than prescribed or at higher doses than recommended.

Patients taking apo clobazam should avoid alcohol and other medications that can increase the effects of drowsiness and sedation. They should also be careful when driving or operating heavy machinery until they know how the medication affects them.
