Clobakem 10 MG Description

Clobakem 10 mg tablet is used to treat severe anxiety and uncontrolled epilepsy. The active ingredient in Clobakem 10 mg tablet is clobazam, which belongs to the benzodiazepines group of medicines.

The mode of action of Clobakem 10 mg tablets is by modifying the binding of certain chemicals in the nerve cells. This decreases the abnormal electrical activity at the nerve cell endings, bringing a calming effect on the mind. This also helps in controlling the jerky movements in epilepsy. Side effects of Clobakem 10 mg tablets include sleepiness, dizziness, slow reflexes, increased salivation, unsteady walk, forgetfulness, blurring of vision, and suicidal behaviour. Prolonged use of Clobakem 10 mg or abruptly stopping it may produce serious withdrawal symptoms such as shakiness, agitation, seeing or hearing unreal things, excessive sweating, and anxiety. It is advised for a short duration and stopped gradually towards completion of the medicine course. It is given with caution in older adults because of their high sensitivity to it and the risk of developing side effects such as confusion, behavioural changes, risk of falls, and memory loss. Clobakem should only be taken as the doctor advised, as it is associated with a high potential for dependency and overdosage.
