Clobazam currently is FDA-labeled only for the adjunctive treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. However, the drug has demonstrated broad anticonvulsant activity and has been used extensively in adults and pediatric patients with a wide range of other seizure disorders, which have sometimes been refractory, including partial, generalized, and myoclonic seizures. /NOT included in US product label/

Clobazam has been used in the treatment of anxiety disorders and has been labeled for the short-term (2-4 weeks) treatment of anxiety in some countries outside the US. However, the drug currently is not FDA-labeled for the treatment of anxiety disorders in the US. /NOT included in US product label/
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2016; Drug Information 2016. Bethesda, MD. 2016, p. 2294
Since clobazam has a CNS depressant effect, patients or their caregivers should be cautioned against concomitant use of other CNS depressant drugs or alcohol, and cautioned that the effects of other CNS depressants or alcohol may be potentiated.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2016; Drug Information 2016. Bethesda, MD. 2016, p. 2295
Somnolence and sedation are among the most common adverse effects associated with clobazam therapy. These effects generally begin within the first month of treatment and may diminish with continued therapy. In a placebo-controlled study of patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, somnolence or sedation was reported in 26% of patients who received clobazam compared with 15% of those who received placebo. Somnolence and sedation were observed at all effective dosages in clinical trials and were dose related. The sedative effect of clobazam is reportedly less pronounced than that of other commercially available benzodiazepines
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2016; Drug Information 2016. Bethesda, MD. 2016, p. 2295
Withdrawal symptoms (e.g., convulsions, psychosis, hallucinations, behavioral disorders, tremor, anxiety, irritability, dysphoria, insomnia, headache, palpitations, diarrhea) have been reported following abrupt discontinuance of benzodiazepines, including clobazam; the risk of withdrawal symptoms is greater with increasing dosage and duration of treatment. Such withdrawal reactions occur in patients who have developed physical dependence on these drugs. More severe withdrawal symptoms usually are limited to patients who abruptly discontinue therapy after receiving excessive dosages of benzodiazepines for an extended period of time. Milder withdrawal symptoms (e.g., dysphoria, anxiety, insomnia) generally have been reported following abrupt discontinuance of benzodiazepines in patients continuously receiving therapeutic dosages for several months.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2016; Drug Information 2016. Bethesda, MD. 2016, p. 2295
Abrupt discontinuance and rapid dosage reduction of clobazam should be avoided to minimize the risk of precipitating or exacerbating seizures, status epilepticus, and withdrawal symptoms. When therapy is discontinued, dosage of the drug should be decreased gradually (i.e., by 5-10 mg daily at weekly intervals).

FDA Label
Similar to other benzodiazepines, clobazam binds to the interface of the and 2-subunit of the GABA-A receptor. However, it is considered a partial agonist to GABA-A receptors which sets clobazam apart from 1,4-benzodiazepines which are full agonist. The significance of this difference is that one may experience less sedation with clobazam than with other benzodiazepines. Unlike the endogenous GABA ligand, clobazam binds allosterically to the GABA receptor to increase the frequency of the chloride channel opening and membrane permeability to chloride ions. Pharmacodynamic tolerance has been demonstrated in animal models.

/MILK/ After oral administration of (14)C-clobazam (NH-15,7- chloro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4-(3H,5H)-dione) (4 mg/kg) to pregnant and lactating rats, the placental transfer and the secretion of radioactivity into milk were studied. Whole body autoradiograms of pregnant rats showed that radioactivity was distributed to the whole body of the fetus. Concentrations of radioactivity in fetal brain and blood were lower than the maternal plasma and placental levels, and decreased rapidly. The extent of transfer of radioactivity into the fetus reached maximum at 30 min after administration, amounting to 0.10% of the radioactivity administered per fetus. The composition of clobazam and its metabolites in plasma of pregnant rats at 30 min after oral administration was similar to that of non-pregnant rats. Concentration of radioactivity in the milk was 1.4 times higher than that in the blood, reached maximum 30 min after administration, then declined rapidly. The radioactivity transferred to the suckling via milk reached a maximum of 0.023% of the dose up to 8 hr after administration. Excretion of radioactivity from the suckling was slow. The composition of clobazam and its metabolites in aggregated milk in the suckling stomach was similar to that of female rat plasma.

Clobazam is lipophilic and distributes rapidly throughout the body. The apparent volume of distribution at steady state was approximately 100 L. The in vitro plasma protein binding of clobazam and N-desmethylclobazam is approximately 80-90% and 70%, respectively.

Clobazam is rapidly and extensively absorbed following oral administration. The time to peak concentrations (Tmax) of clobazam tablets under fasted conditions ranged from 0.5 to 4 hours after single- or multiple-dose administrations. The relative bioavailability of clobazam tablets compared to an oral solution is approximately 100%. After single dose administration of the oral suspension under fasted conditions, the Tmax ranged from 0.5 to 2 hours. Based on exposure (Cmax and AUC) of clobazam, Onfi tablets and suspension were shown to have similar bioavailability under fasted conditions. The administration of Onfi tablets with food or when crushed in applesauce does not affect absorption. Although not studied, the oral bioavailability of the oral suspension is unlikely to be affected under fed conditions.

Clobazam is extensively metabolized in the liver via N-demethylation and hydroxylation to form two major metabolites, N-desmethylclobazam (norclobazam) and 4'-hydroxyclobazam, respectively. N-desmethylclobazam (norclobazam) retains pharmacological activity. Norclobazam is one-fourth the potency of clobazam. The main enzyme that facilitates the process of N-demethylation is CYP3A4, and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19 and CYP2B6. Norclobazam itself is also metabolized via hydroxylation, primarily by CYP2C19. The formation of 4'-hydroxyclobazam is facilitated by CYP2C18 and CYP2C19. A factor in determining extent of metabolism is the genetic profile of the individual patient as CYP2C19 is a polymorphic enzyme.
The polymorphic CYP2C19 is the major contributor to the metabolism of the pharmacologically active N-desmethylclobazam. In CYP2C19 poor metabolizers, levels of N-desmethylclobazam were 5-fold higher in plasma and 2- to 3-fold higher in the urine than in CYP2C19 extensive metabolizers.

Clobazam is extensively metabolized in the liver, with approximately 2% of the dose recovered in urine and 1% in feces as unchanged drug. The major metabolic pathway of clobazam involves N-demethylation, primarily by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19 and CYP2B6. N-desmethylclobazam, an active metabolite, is the major circulating metabolite in humans, and at therapeutic doses, plasma concentrations are 3-5 times higher than those of the parent compound. Based on animal and in vitro receptor binding data, estimates of the relative potency of N-desmethylclobazam compared to parent compound range from 1/5 to equal potency. N-desmethylclobazam is extensively metabolized, mainly by CYP2C19. N-desmethylclobazam and its metabolites comprise approximately 94% of the total drug-related components in urine. Following a single oral dose of radiolabeled drug, approximately 11% of the dose was excreted in the feces and approximately 82% was excreted in the urine.

A four-year-old male with symptomatic generalized epilepsy presented with ataxia, eye rolling, and episodes of back arching which were of non-epileptic origin following the introduction of clobazam at 0.75 mg/kg/day. Concurrent antiepileptic medication was lamotrigine at 13 mg/kg/day. Clobazam plasma levels were within the normal range, while N-desmethylclobazam (DCLB) concentrations were between five and seven times above the upper limit of the normal range. The plasma elimination half-life for DCLB was prolonged, suggesting a genetic variability in DCLB metabolism leading to toxicity. Reduction in the dose of clobazam to 0.3 mg/kg/day was associated with resolution of the non-epileptic neurological symptoms, reduction in DCLB plasma levels, and maintenance of seizure control.

The mean elimination half life of an oral dose of clobazam 40 mg is 32 hours. It's main metabolite, norclobazam, as a half life of 57 hours. The half life in adult patients with epilepsy are higher than those that are healthy.
The mean elimination half-life of clobazam is approximately 36-42 hours and the mean elimination half-life of N-desmethylclobazam is approximately 71-82 hours.

Clobazam binds at distinct binding sites associated with the chloride ionopore at the post-synaptic GABA receptor. These GABA receptors are in various locations in the CNS (limbic, reticular formation) and clobazam increases the duration of time for which the chloride ionopore is open. As a result, hyper polarization and stabilization of the membrane occur as the post-synaptic inhibitory effect of GABA is enhanced.
