In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved zonisamide as adjunctive (add-on) therapy for partial seizures (seizures that begin in a limited area of the brain) in adults with epilepsy. Research and experience with patients suggests that it also may be effective for other types of epilepsy and epilepsy syndromes, including:

  • Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
  • infantile spasms (West syndrome)
  • progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME)
