Clobazam, norclobazam and ratio, serum       
         
. Therapeutic Area:

Clobazam   :  30 -  300 µg/L
Norclobazam: 300 - 3000 µg/L
Norclobazam/Clobazam Ratio: Less than 10

. Toxic Concentration:

Clobazam    : Higher to  3000 µg/L
Norclobazam : Higher to 12000 µg/L

. Comment: The Norclobazam/Clobazam ratio may be useful for information on the drug metabolizing capacity and improve dose adjustment. Very high ratios (> 25) indicate that the patient is a poor metabolizer of CYP2C19 (if not taking drugs that induce CYP3A or CYP2C19 inhibitors).

Note: The presence of Norclobazam must be evaluated only if no Clonazepam therapy because it interferes with the analytical determination.
