e ingredient, which belongs to a class of medicine called Benzodiazepines.

GABA is gamma-aminobutyric acid, a naturally occurring chemical messenger in the brain responsible for suppressing brain activity(inhibitory neurotransmitter). Benzodiazepines also produce sedation, and drowsiness, relax muscle tone and relieve anxiety. Epilepsy or seizure(fits) is sudden uncontrollable excessive nerve(brain cell) activity in the brain associated with movements and changes in your consciousness. A doctor can only make the diagnosis of epilepsy/seizure disorder. Cloba Mt 10 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine. Your doctor should recommend the dose and duration of the medicine. The common side effects of Cloba Mt 10 mg tablet are sedation, drowsiness, fatigue, constipation, drooling, violent behavior, painful urination, altered breathing, and hyperpyrexia(fever). Do not stop the medicine abruptly or skip the doses, or overdose. The medicine should not be stopped even if you feel well. The doctor will slowly reduce the dose if it is no longer required. Sudden stoppage of the medicine can result in seizures(fits) and withdrawal symptoms. The caregivers or family members are advised to closely observe the patients for any behavioral changes or mood changes(feelings/thoughts). Do not give Cloba Mt 10 mg tablet to anyone who has the same symptoms or does not use it for any other condition.
