zonisamide and Epilepsies, Myoclonic

zonisamide has been researched along with Epilepsies, Myoclonic in 10 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.

Epilepsies, Myoclonic: A clinically diverse group of epilepsy syndromes characterized either by myoclonic seizures or by myoclonus in association with other seizure types. Myoclonic epilepsy syndromes are divided into three subtypes based on etiology: familial, cryptogenic, and symptomatic.
