It is FDA-approved as an add-on treatment for seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome in people 2 years of age and older. The cash price for clobazam swings a great deal from one pharmacy to the next, even between stores on the same street, so it is worth comparing before you fill.

What is clobazam and how does it work?

Clobazam is a benzodiazepine (specifically a 1,5-benzodiazepine) used as an antiepileptic, or anti-seizure, medicine. It works in the brain as a positive allosteric modulator at GABA-A receptors, which means it strengthens the effect of GABA, the body's main calming chemical messenger. Boosting that calming signal makes the abnormal electrical bursts that cause seizures less likely to spread.

In the United States, the only FDA-approved use for clobazam and for its brand-name versions is the adjunctive (add-on) treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome in patients 2 years of age and older. That approval covers Onfi tablets and oral suspension, the Sympazan oral film, and generic clobazam tablets and oral suspension. Neurologists sometimes prescribe clobazam for other seizure disorders, but those uses are outside the FDA-approved labeling and are a decision for your prescriber, not something to start or change on your own. Outside the US the drug is sold as Frisium and carries different approved uses there. This page is information only, not medical advice, so talk with your neurologist or pharmacist about what is right for you.

Clobazam cost without insurance, and how a coupon helps

Generic clobazam is widely stocked as tablets and as an oral suspension, and generics are typically the lower-cost option compared with the brand-name products. But that does not mean the price is the same everywhere. Cash prices for the very same strength and quantity of clobazam can differ dramatically between a big chain, a grocery-store pharmacy, and an independent down the road, because each pharmacy sets its own cash price. That is the single biggest reason it is worth comparing before you fill.

Rx.com compares cash prices at over 60,000 US pharmacies and shows you a free discount coupon you can use even if you have no insurance at all. A few things worth knowing:

• The coupon is for cash-pay prescriptions. It is not insurance, and it cannot be combined with your insurance benefit on the same fill.
• Sometimes the cash coupon price beats a plan copay and sometimes it does not. It is fine to ask the pharmacist to check both and ring up whichever is lower.
• Price depends on strength, quantity, dosage form, and location, so run your exact prescription rather than assuming. Generic clobazam comes as tablets and as an oral suspension; the oral film is available only as brand-name Sympazan, so a coupon price for the film is a brand price, not a generic one.
• There is no manufacturer savings card for generic clobazam. The brand oral film, Sympazan, is supported by its manufacturer's official website, where any savings program terms and eligibility rules are posted and can change at any time.

Clobazam vs. clonazepam and other seizure medicines

Clobazam is often confused with clonazepam. Both are benzodiazepines used in epilepsy, but they are different molecules with different chemistry: clobazam is a 1,5-benzodiazepine, while clonazepam and the other familiar benzodiazepines such as lorazepam and diazepam are 1,4-benzodiazepines. In practice, clobazam's US approval is narrowly for add-on treatment of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome seizures, and it tends to be chosen when a prescriber wants benzodiazepine seizure control as a daily add-on. They are not interchangeable, and switching between them is a prescriber's decision.

Clobazam is almost always used alongside a non-benzodiazepine anti-seizure medicine rather than by itself. Common companions in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and other epilepsies include lamotrigine, valproic acid, topiramate, rufinamide, and levetiracetam. If cost is your concern, the answer is usually not to change medicines but to shop the price of the one you were prescribed. Compare your exact clobazam prescription across nearby pharmacies first, and bring any real affordability problem to your prescriber before you skip or stretch doses.

Safety, side effects, and important warnings

Clobazam is a Schedule IV (C-IV) controlled substance and carries an FDA boxed warning with three parts. First, taking it with opioids can cause profound sedation, slowed or stopped breathing, coma, and death, so the combination should be reserved for people with no other option, at the lowest dose and shortest duration, with close monitoring. Second, even at recommended doses, benzodiazepines carry a risk of abuse, misuse, and addiction that can lead to overdose or death. Third, physical dependence can develop after continued use of only several days to weeks, and stopping suddenly or cutting the dose too quickly can trigger acute withdrawal, including life-threatening reactions such as seizures and status epilepticus. Clobazam should be tapered gradually under a prescriber's direction, never stopped on your own.

Other important risks to know about: serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and DRESS, have been reported, so report any new rash to your prescriber right away. Sleepiness and sedation are very common and are worse with alcohol or other sedating medicines, so avoid alcohol. Antiseizure medicines as a class can raise the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior. Breathing problems are a particular concern in people with compromised respiratory function. Use during pregnancy can cause sedation and withdrawal in a newborn. People with liver problems and CYP2C19 poor metabolizers need lower starting doses and slower dose increases. Clobazam can make hormonal birth control less effective, so an additional non-hormonal method is recommended. Older adults face a higher risk of sedation and falls.
