Zonisamide for absence seizures.

Angus Wilfong1, Rebecca Schultz.   

Abstract

This chart review investigated the efficacy and safety of zonisamide in 45 patients aged < or = 18 years with absence seizures. Of these patients, 23 (51.1%) achieved freedom from absence seizures. Two patients discontinued zonisamide, 1 for increased seizures and 1 for sleepiness and inefficacy. These data support the efficacy of zonisamide in treating absence seizures.
