Clorazepate Dipotassium

What is clorazepate dipotassium?

Clorazepate dipotassium (brand names: Tranxene-SD®, Gen-Xene®) is a benzodiazepine used to treat behavior disorders and seizures. Anxiety disorders and phobias are most often treated with this medication.  

Its use in cats and dogs to treat seizures and behavior disorders is ‘off label’ or ‘extra label’. Many drugs are commonly prescribed for off label use in veterinary medicine. In these instances, follow your veterinarian’s directions and cautions very carefully as their directions may be significantly different from those on the label.
