Zonisamide 100 mg
Treatment of epilepsy/seizure disorders (as adjunct therapy for partial-onset seizures); may be used for other seizure types as decided by the physician.
Zonisamide is an antiepileptic medicine that helps reduce abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It blocks voltage-gated sodium channels and T-type calcium channels and may enhance inhibitory neurotransmission, thereby lowering seizure frequency.
Take tablet/capsule exactly as prescribed by the doctor, usually once or twice daily. Can be taken with or without food; take at the same time each day and swallow whole with water. Do not stop suddenly; dose is usually titrated and tapered as advised.
Common side effects of ZONISEP 100 10`S may include:
Prescription-only antiepileptic. Do not stop abruptly (risk of rebound seizures). May cause drowsiness/dizziness—avoid driving/alcohol until you know the effect. Risk of metabolic acidosis, kidney stones, decreased sweating/heat intolerance (especially in hot weather/children), serious skin reactions, and mood changes/suicidal thoughts—seek medical help if symptoms occur. Use caution in kidney or liver disease; ensure adequate hydration. Contains sulfonamide—use caution in sulfa allergy.
