We examined the impact of the clobazam shortage on patients with epilepsy from the patient's perspective and identified 6 important themes. As a result, we were able to gain insight into what patients need to cope with drug shortages and make recommendations that can help mitigate the impact of shortages on patients in the future. Further research is needed to better understand drug shortages from the patient's perspective in various settings and conditions.
