Clobazam was first synthesized in 1966 and first published in 1969. It was approved in Australia in 1970 and France in 1974 for short-term anxiety management. Marketing for clobazam in the treatment of epilepsy began in 1984. The primary drug-development goal was to provide greater anxiolytic, anti-obsessive efficacy with fewer benzodiazepine-related side effects. Clobazam is a unique 1,5-benzodiazepine which is used in the United States only as an anticonvulsant. It is available in other countries for the therapy of severe and disabling anxiety in addition to epilepsy. Clobazam has shown a distinct profile and addictive potential compared to the more common benzodiazepines.
In October 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration approved clobazam as an adjunctive treatment for seizures associated with Lennox–Gastaut syndrome in adults and children aged two years of age and older. In 2005, clobazam also received approval from Health Canada as an add-on therapy for generalized tonic–clonic, myoclonic, and focal impaired awareness seizures.
