zonisamide and Complex Partial Epilepsy

zonisamide has been researched along with Complex Partial Epilepsy in 4 studies

Zonisamide: A benzisoxazole and sulfonamide derivative that acts as a CALCIUM CHANNEL blocker. It is used primarily as an adjunctive antiepileptic agent for the treatment of PARTIAL SEIZURES, with or without secondary generalization.
zonisamide : A 1,2-benzoxazole compound having a sulfamoylmethyl substituent at the 3-position.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Antiepileptics (carbamazepine, sodium valproate, zonisamide, clobazam, and topiramate), which are used for complex partial epilepsy or secondary generalized epilepsy in clinical practice, were orally administrated to kindled rats."3.76The usefulness of olfactory bulb kindling as a model for evaluation of antiepileptics. ( Akagi, M; Fujiwara, A; Ishikawa, T; Kaida, Y; Kamei, C; Takechi, K; Watanabe, Y, 2010)
" The most common adverse events were somnolence, headache, dizziness, and nausea during the titration phase and headache and pharyngitis during the fixed-dose assessment phase."2.71Dose-dependent safety and efficacy of zonisamide: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with refractory partial seizures. ( Bitenskyy, V; Brodie, MJ; Duncan, R; Lucas, C; Solyom, A; Vespignani, H, 2005)
"Zonisamide is a sulfonamide antiepilepsy drug with sodium and calcium channel-blocking actions."2.70Randomized controlled trial of zonisamide for the treatment of refractory partial-onset seizures. ( Ayala, R; Faught, E; Leppik, IE; Montouris, GG, 2001)
