Clorazepate Dipotassium recalls
From the FDA Enforcement database. A recall covers specific lots — not the drug as a whole.
How long clorazepate dipotassium keeps
No clorazepate dipotassium label we read sets a separate limit for after opening, but they do specify how it must be stored — and the stability behind any date assumes those conditions.
What people report to the FDA about clorazepate dipotassium
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 2,186 reports naming clorazepate dipotassium, and the FDA flagged 83% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- somnolence148 reports
- nausea146 reports
- diarrhoea108 reports
- vomiting102 reports
- fall100 reports
- fatigue100 reports
- dizziness99 reports
- anxiety95 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean clorazepate dipotassium caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label.
