Zonisamide(Cat No.:A000801)is an anticonvulsant medication primarily used to manage partial seizures in epilepsy. It works by blocking voltage-dependent sodium and calcium channels, stabilizing neuronal membranes, and reducing excessive neural firing. Additionally, zonisamide has mild inhibitory effects on carbonic anhydrase, contributing to its antiepileptic properties. Known for its broad spectrum, zonisamide is also being explored for mood stabilization and management of neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease. Its once-daily dosing and generally favorable safety profile make it a valuable option in long-term epilepsy treatment and adjunctive therapy for seizure control.
