PART I: HEALTH PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION
ACTIONS
Clobazam is a 1,5-benzodiazepine with anticonvulsant properties.
In general, the mode of antiepileptic action of clobazam is probably
largely analogous to that of the
1,4-benzodiazepines. The differences between clobazam (a
1,5-benzodiazepine) and the
1,4-benzodiazepines in terms of therapeutic efficacy and neurotoxicity
are possibly due to the
variation in degree of the agonist action at the high affinity
benzodiazepine receptor or to differing
relative action at the high and low affinity benzodiazepine receptors.
Regarding the mechanism of action, it is likely that modifications to
the function of gamma-
aminobutyric acid (GABA) as an important inhibitory neurotransmitter
underlie the pharmacological
effects of the benzodiazepines. Electrophysiological studies have
shown that benzodiazepines
potentiate GABA-ergic transmission at all levels of the neuroaxis,
including the spinal cord,
hypothalamus, hippocampus, substantia nigra, cerebellar cortex and
cerebral cortex. The changes
induced by the interaction of GABA with its receptors is enhanced by
benzodiazepines, resulting in a
decrease in the firing rate of critical neurons in many regions of the
brain.
The oral absorption of clobazam, like that of all benzodiazepines, is
fast and complete and amounts
to at least 87%. Relative bioavailability of clobazam tablets or
solution (in propylene glycol) is not
significantly different. After a single dose of 20 mg clobazam, marked
interindividual variability in
maximum plasma concentrations (222 to 709 ng/mL) was observed after
0.25 to 4 hours. The
administration of food with the drug has variable effects on the rate
of absorption.
