Urbanol 10mg (clobazam) – is a drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It is used as an anxiolytic and anticonvulsant. Common side effects are ataxia, somnolence, diplopia, and dsyarthria. Clobazam as with other benzodiazepine drugs can lead to physical dependence, addiction and what is known as the benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome. Withdrawal from clobazam or other benzodiazepines after regular use often leads to withdrawal symptoms which are similar to those seen during alcohol and barbiturate withdrawal. The higher the dose and the longer the drug is taken for, the greater the risk of experiencing unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms can however occur from standard dosages and also after short term use.
