Cosium 10 mg Tablet
DESCRIPTION
COSIUM (Clobazam) is an anxiolytic agent belonging to the class of the benzodiazepine. Cosium is similar to diazepam in actions and uses. Binding of Clobazam to the benzodiazepine receptors potentiates the inhibitory action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) upon the chloride channel, thereby enhancing GABA facilitated, inhibitory synaptic transmission. COSIUM is safer than diazepam because of its less side effects. Peak plasma level of COSIUM is attained within very short time.
