Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Frisium (clobazam) is used for intermittent prophylaxis of febrile seizures in dose of 1 mg / kg/day , in two divided doses. ( interval of 10-12 hours ). Reduce fever by tepid sponging and paracetamol. Repeat frisium after 10-12 hours . Febrile seizures are usually benign condition , if any way seizures occur , keep child in lateral position to avoid aspiration , usually seizures subside in 2-3 minutes .

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
*Always check for history of allergy before taking any medicine.
Take care.
