Banzel (rufinamide) is generally used as add-on (adjunctive) therapy for seizures associated with the Lennox-Gastaut syndrome that are not well controlled by other medications. These seizures may include simple partial, complex partial, secondarily generalized tonic-clonic, primarily generalized tonic-clonic, atonic, tonic, absence and myoclonic seizures. However, limited experience with Banzel is available for some of these specific seizure types.

Studies of Banzel leading to approval showed an overall 33% reduction in total seizures, and a 43% reduction in tonic and atonic seizures. Not everyone taking the medicine showed an improvement, but more did than those adding on a sugar pill to their other medications.
