Description
Indications
Rufinamide is administered in conjunction with other medications to effectively manage seizures. It is primarily utlized individuals diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a highly debilitating form of epilepsy that manifests in childhood and is characterized by various seizure types, behavioral disruptions, and developmental delays. Classified as an anticonvulsant, rufinamide exerts its therapeutic effects by mitigating abnormal neuronal hyperactivity within the brain.
Uses and Dosage
Rufinamide is available in tablet form for oral administration. Typically, it is ingested with food twice daily, ideally at consistent times each day. Rufinamide should be taken precisely as directed, without exceeding or reducing the dosage frequency as prescribed by your doctor.
The rufinamide tablets can be consumed whole, split in half along the score mark, or crushed. To determine the most suitable administration method for your specific situation, consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
Initiation of rufinamide treatment usually entails a low initial dose, which is then gradually increased, under the guidance of your healthcare professional.
While rufinamide may assist in managing your condition, it does not offer a cure. Continue taking rufinamide even if you feel well. Discontinuing the medication without consulting your doctor can result in the exacerbation of seizures. Should the need to stop rufinamide arise, your doctor will likely reduce the dosage gradually.
