Glossary term
Clobazam: Clobazam is an antiseizure medicine that matters in cannabis guidance because certain NICE recommendations for cannabidiol in epilepsy are specifically for cannabidiol with clobazam.
Why this term matters
Patients reading epilepsy guidance may find the term repeatedly but not know why it matters.
UK medical cannabis context
NICE technology appraisal recommendations for Lennox–Gastaut and Dravet syndrome specify cannabidiol with clobazam.
What not to assume
It is not interchangeable with cannabis treatment; it is a separate medicine with its own safety profile.
Careful wording: Avoid implying clobazam is optional where NICE guidance makes it part of the treatment framing.
