Active Ingredient Description
Zonisamide

Zonisamide is a benzisoxazole derivative with antiepileptic and anticonvulsant activity. The mechanism of action of zonisamide is not fully elucidated, but it appears to act on voltage-sensitive sodium and calcium channels, thereby disrupting synchronised neuronal firing, reducing the spread of seizure discharges and disrupting subsequent epileptic activity.
