Frisium Tablet

Frisium Tablet is a medication that contains the active ingredient Clobazam. Clobazam belongs to the benzodiazepine class of drugs and is used for its anticonvulsant and anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) properties. It is prescribed to manage certain types of seizures and anxiety disorders.

Active Ingredient:

• Clobazam

Uses:

1. Seizure Management: Frisium is primarily prescribed to control and prevent certain types of seizures, including Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of childhood epilepsy.
2. Anxiety Disorders: It may also be used in the treatment of anxiety disorders when other medications are not suitable or effective.

Mechanism of Action: Clobazam works by enhancing the activity of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps calm excessive electrical activity, leading to a reduction in seizures and anxiety.

Dosage and Administration: The dosage of Frisium is individualized based on the patient’s age, medical condition, and response to treatment. It is typically taken orally as directed by the healthcare provider.

Precautions:

1. Dependency Risk: Clobazam has the potential for dependence and should be used under the close supervision of a healthcare professional.
2. Abrupt Discontinuation: Sudden discontinuation of Frisium may lead to withdrawal symptoms. The dose should be tapered gradually under medical guidance.
3. Driving and Operating Machinery: Clobazam may cause drowsiness or dizziness; patients should exercise caution while driving or operating machinery.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, and changes in appetite. Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions and mood changes.

When Not to Use:

Frisium should be avoided in individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to Clobazam or other benzodiazepines. It is not recommended for use in certain respiratory conditions and should be used cautiously in individuals with a history of substance abuse.
