Hi, my brother has epilepsy since 5 years and he suffer from sezuire once a year only. He was on keppra 750 mg twice daily. After last sezuire his neuro added 5 mg clobazam at night dose once a day. I researched about it online as it shows less sedative qualities as my worry was that my brother is young about 23 years and he drinks casually. Sometimes less and sometimes ever more, so will clobazam only 5 mg at night be a concern if drinks and takes medicine after coming home?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of clobazam such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with clobazam. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

He must stop drinking first because clobazam does not go well with alcohol.
