What should I do if my child misses a dose of Onfi?

Talk to your doctor about what to do if your child misses a dose of the anti-seizure drug Onfi (clobazam). Depending on when you realize he didn't take the medicine, he may be able to take the missed dose right away and then take the next dose as scheduled. However, if it's almost time for the next dose, your doctor may recommend skipping the missed dose and resuming the usual schedule with the next dose. Do not double the dose, since taking too much Onfi may increase the risk of serious side effects.
