Frisium (Clobazam) belongs to the class of medications known as benzodiazepines. It is used to treat certain seizure disorders. It is used as an add-on to other antiseizure medications when extra treatment for control of seizures is needed.
Seizures are caused by uncontrolled firing of neurons in the brain (also referred to as increased electrical activity in the brain). Frisium (Clobazam) works by reducing the rate of firing of these neurons.
Frisium (Clobazam) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Frisium (Clobazam) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Frisium (Clobazam) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested Frisium (Clobazam) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Frisium (Clobazam), speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Frisium (Clobazam) without consulting your doctor.
Do not give Frisium (Clobazam) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Frisium (Clobazam) if their doctor has not prescribed it.
Your privacy is important. That's why we send your medication inside a plain delivery box so no one will know what's inside.
The recommended adult dose of Frisium (Clobazam) ranges from 5 mg to 80 mg daily, as directed by your doctor, taken in 1 or 2 doses with or without food. Doses up to 30 mg daily may be taken as a single daily dose. Higher doses must be split into 2 daily doses. If the dose is divided, the higher portion of the dose should be taken at night. The dose is usually started at 5 mg to 15 mg daily and increased gradually as needed. For children 2 to 16 years, the starting dose should be 5 mg daily, increased gradually to a maximum of 40 mg per day. For children younger than 2 years, the starting dose is based on body weight. If you have reduced liver or kidney function, your doctor may recommend a lower dose.
