ONFI® (clobazam) CIV Scored Tablets and Oral Suspension Now Available in U.S. Pharmacies
New Formulations Provide Dosing Flexibility for Physicians and their Patients
ONFI.com Updated with New Tools and Resources for Families

Deerfield, Ill. August 12, 2013 – Lundbeck announced today that ONFI (clobazam) CIV will be available
in scored tablet and oral suspension formulations beginning this week. These new formulations were
recently approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). ONFI is a prescription medication
originally approved by the FDA in 2011, and is used along with other medicines to treat seizures
associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) in adults and children 2 years of age or older. ONFI
is an oral anti-epileptic drug (AED) of the benzodiazepine class, and is a 1,5 benzodiazepine. It is a
federally controlled schedule four substance (CIV).

The new oval shaped ONFI Scored Tablets (10 mg and 20 mg) will replace the previously available
round non-scored tablets, and are similar in size. These new tablets contain the same ingredients as
the round tablet, and include a functional score to allow patients or their caregivers to split the tablets in
half. ONFI will no longer be available in a 5 mg tablet. ONFI Oral Suspension (2.5 mg/mL) has a berry
flavor, and provides an alternative to ONFI Tablets.

“Since becoming available nearly two years ago, ONFI has become an important additional treatment
option for people with LGS,” said Raman Sankar, MD, PhD, Professor of Neurology and Pediatrics and
Chief of Pediatric Neurology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los
Angeles. “ONFI Scored Tablets and Oral Suspension provide flexibility when making dose adjustments.
Also, it’s very helpful to have medications available in both tablet and oral suspension formulations to
provide options for patients and their caregivers.”

LGS is a rare and severe form of epilepsy that is typically diagnosed in childhood and often persists into
adulthood. 2,3,4 LGS is associated with multiple types of seizures with periods of frequent seizures, and
daily seizures are common. 5 Some of these seizures, including atonic, tonic and myoclonic seizures,
may cause falls, or “drop seizures” (also referred toas “drop attacks”), which may result in injury. 2

“The availability of these new formulations are the result of working closely with the LGS community
and listening to the needs of physicians, patients and those who care for them,” said Mike Hanley,
Director of ONFI Marketing, Lundbeck US. “We are inspired by the strength of those impacted by LGS
and will continue working together to help these patients and their families.”

ONFI.com Updated with New Tools and Resources for Families
Helpful resources for patients and their families, including an animated video guide to the new
formulations, are available at ONFI.com. The website also features new content to support families,
including videos from parents of children and adults with LGS discussing their experience with LGS and
ONFI, as well as downloadable tools.

Jackie, whose daughter has LGS, is one of several parents who shares her experience in a video on
ONFI.com. “LGS affects such a wide range of people, and there really are no two people with LGS that
are exactly alike. That in itself is motivation to keep trying new things,” said Jackie. “Several years back,
my husband and I weighed the benefits and the risks and ultimately decided that we would try ONFI for
our daughter, and we’re thankful that we did.”

About ONFI® (clobazam) CIV
ONFI is an oral antiepileptic drug developed in the United States by Lundbeck, and is now available in
10-mg and 20-mg tablets, and as a 2.5 mg/mL Oral Suspension. ONFI is a 1,5 benzodiazepine. The
exact mechanism of action for ONFI is not fully understood, but is thought to involve potentiation of
GABAergic neurotransmission resulting from binding at the benzodiazepine site of the GABAA receptor.1
More than 150,000 prescriptions of ONFI have been written in the United States.
Important Safety Information

ONFI can make you sleepy or dizzy and can slow your thinking and make you clumsy which may get better over time. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or do other dangerous activities
until you know how ONFI affects you. Do not drink alcohol or take other drugs that may make you
sleepy or dizzy while taking ONFI without first talking to your healthcare provider. ONFI may make
your sleepiness or dizziness much worse.

ONFI can cause withdrawal symptoms. Do not suddenly stop taking ONFI without first talking to
a healthcare provider. Stopping ONFI suddenly can cause seizures that will not stop (status
epilepticus), hearing or seeing things that are not there (hallucinations), shaking, nervousness, and
stomach and muscle cramps.

ONFI can be abused and cause dependence. Physical dependence is not the same as drug
addiction. Talk to your healthcare provider about the differences. ONFI is a federally controlled
substance (CIV) because it can be abused or lead to dependence.

Serious skin reactions have been seen when ONFI is taken with other medicines and may require stopping its use. A serious skin reaction can happen at any time during your treatment with ONFI. Call your healthcare provider immediately if you have skin blisters, peeling rash, sores in the mouth, hives or any other allergic reaction.

Like other antiepileptic drugs, ONFI may cause suicidal thoughts or actions in a very small number of people, about 1 in 500. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms, especially sudden changes in mood, behaviors, thoughts, or feelings, and especially if they are new, worse, or worry you.

Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions including liver or kidney problems,
lung problems (respiratory disease), depression, mood problems, or suicidal thoughts or behavior.
If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, ONFI may harm your unborn baby. You and your
healthcare provider will have to decide if you should take ONFI while you are pregnant.

ONFI can pass into breast milk. You and your health care provider should decide if you should take
ONFI or breast feed. You should not do both.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and
nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements, as taking ONFI with certain other
medicines can cause side effects or affect how well they work. ONFI may make your birth control
medicine less effective. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best method to use.

The most common side effects seen in ONFI patients include: sleepiness; drooling; constipation;
cough; pain with urination; fever; acting aggressive, being angry or violent; difficulty sleeping;
slurred speech; tiredness; and problems with breathing.
