Clobazam 5mg, Oral Dissolving film

Alcohol

· Severity: Major

· Notes for Consumers: Avoid alcoholic drinks while you are taking Clobazam. Using Clobazam along with alcohol can lead to serious side effects. You may feel drowsy or more tired when taking these drugs together. Do not drive or operate machinery if you are drinking alcohol-containing beverages. If you notice slurred speech, confusion, severe weakness, or difficulty breathing, contact your health care provider immediately.

· Notes for Professionals: Concomitant administration of clobazam with other CNS depressants including ethanol can potentiate the CNS effects (i.e., increased sedation or respiratory depression) of either agent. In addition, consumption of ethanol increases the maximum plasma exposure of clobazam by about 50%. Patients should be advised of the potential hazards of consuming ethanol during treatment with clobazam, including excessive sedation and resultant effects on ability to drive or operate machinery.
