CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A medical study on the treatment of prolonged epileptic seizures, known as status epilepticus, has revealed important information about clobazam. Researchers associated with AIIMS Delhi and GB Pant Hospital assessed the effectiveness of orally dissolving clobazam. The study found that the medicine may be as effective as midazolam in stopping prolonged epileptic seizures.
Clobazam is a benzodiazepine medicine used to control seizures in some types of epilepsy. However, a prolonged seizure is considered a medical emergency, and immediate medical assistance is necessary in such cases.
A key feature of the study is its focus on the possible use of clobazam in an orally dissolving form, which may make administration of the medicine easier in certain circumstances. The researchers’ findings could help improve options for managing prolonged seizures in the future.
Experts say such medicines should be used only on medical advice and according to the prescribed dosage. Epilepsy patients or their family members should not start or stop any medicine without consulting a doctor.
