Urbanol tablets contain clobazam, a benzodiazepine derivative primarily used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, especially in neurotic patients who experience severe symptoms, and as a pre-operative medication to relieve anxiety before surgery[1][3].
Urbanol may also be effective in relieving the acute symptoms of alcohol withdrawal syndrome, but it does not have specific usefulness for treating psychotic disorders[1]. In certain cases and depending on local regulations, it can be used to manage epileptic seizures or serve as an adjunctive therapy in epilepsy, particularly in patients who are unresponsive to other first-line drugs[2][4][8]. Additionally, Urbanol is sometimes prescribed as a sedative or hypnotic—typically less sedating than other benzodiazepines—and may occasionally help with severe sleep disturbances, though this is not its principal indication[4].
The use of Urbanol should generally be limited to cases where the disorder is severe, disabling, or subjecting the individual to extreme stress[1]. Treatment should start with the lowest recommended dose and be kept as short as possible, usually not exceeding 8–12 weeks (including tapering), with regular reassessment for ongoing need[3].
