id="Clobazam.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Clobazam is a benzodiazepine that is used as an anticonvulsant in the therapy of severe childhood epilepsy. Therapy with clobazam has not been associated with serum aminotransferase elevations, and clinically apparent liver injury from clobazam has yet to be reported and must be rare, if it occurs at all.</p></div><div id="Clobazam.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Clobazam (kloe' ba zam) is a unique 1,5 benzodiazepine which is used in the United States as an anticonvulsant, but is available in other countries for therapy of anxiety as well as epilepsy. The anticonvulsant activity of clobazam appears to be mediated by its ability to enhance gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) medicated inhibition of synaptic transmission via binding to the GABA-A receptor. Clobazam was approved for use in the United States in 2011 as an anticonvulsant to be used either alone or in combination with other agents as therapy of the severe form of childhood epilepsy known as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Clobazam is available in tablets of 5, 10 and 20 mg under the brand name Onfi in the United States and Frisium and Urbanol elsewhere. The recommended initial dose is 5 mg once or twice daily, with subsequent increases to a usual maintenance dose of 20 mg twice daily. The dose should be increased and tapered gradually. The most common side effects are dose related and include dizziness, somnolence, impaired concentration, nervousness, aggression, antegrade amnesia, headache, fatigue, nausea and weakness. Clobazam can also lead to physical dependence and sudden discontinuation can cause withdrawal symptoms and rebound seizure activity.</p></div><div id="Clobazam.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Limited data are available on the hepatotoxicity of clobazam. In clinical trials, clobazam was not associated with an increased frequency of serum aminotransferase elevations as compared to placebo treatment, and there were no instances of clinically apparent liver injury. No individual case reports of clobazam hepatotoxicity have been published since its wide spread clinical availability. Liver injury from benzodiazepines is quite rare, but isolated instances of hepatotoxicity have been reported for clorazepate and clonazepam, two other benzodiazepines used predominantly in the therapy of epilepsy. Thus, clinically apparent liver injury due to clobazam must be rare, if it occurs at all.</p><p>Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Clobazam.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Clobazam is extensively metabolized by the liver, largely by glucuronidation and acetylation. Its metabolism is independent of the microsomal P450 system, and it has little or no effect on P450 activity and lacks significant drug-drug interactions.</p></div><div id="Clobazam.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>There is no information on the possible cross sensitivity to hepatotoxicity among the various benzodiazepines used as anticonvulsants such as diazepam, clonazepam, clorazepate or clobazam. Nevertheless, switching from one to another after clinically apparent liver injury should be done with caution and with appropriate clinical monitoring.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Anticonvulsants/?report=reader">Anticonvulsants</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/BenzodiazepineDrugs/?report=reader">Benzodiazepines</a></p></div></div><div id="Clobazam.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Clobazam_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Clobazam.BPI" class="box boxed-text-box whole_rhythm hide-overflow"><p>
