Clobium 5mg Suspension 60ml
Clobium 5 MG Description
Clobium Suspension is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of various states of anxiety and refractory seizures(increased electrical activity in the brain). This medicine is used for both su
dden anxiety attacks and a chronic anxiety state. For seizures, this medicine should only be used along with other seizure medication. It is not to be used as the only treatment for a seizure disorder. Clobium Suspension is composed of clobazam as its active ingredient. It is a tranquilliser(medicine that promotes calmness and reduces fear). It works by increasing the levels of certain chemical substances in the brain, which helps to lower the abnormal or excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain. It is responsible for its antiepileptic (lowers seizures) and calming properties. This medicine causes physical dependence(causes physical symptoms if stopped using or used in low dose) in case of long term use. So, it is important to monitor the dosage. Moreover, you should not stop using this medicine suddenly as it can cause withdrawal symptoms, like muscle tremors, sweating, nausea, muscle pain, etc. Clobium Suspension can cause serious breathing problems when used with certain medicines. Inform your doctor before taking other medicines with it.
