Fenfluramine is the generic name (non-brand name) of a seizure medicine with the brand name Fintepla® from Zogenix.
Liquid:
2.2 mg/mL
Fenfluramine is usually started at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg/day divided into 2 equal doses and may be increased by 0.2 mg/kg/d every 4 days to a maximum dose of 0.7 mg/kg/d (maximum 25.9 mg/day).
The dose should be reduced in patients on stiripentol, as co-therapy with stiripentol increases the blood levels of fenfluramine. If using with stiripentol, the fenfluramine should be started at 0.2 mg/kg/d and increased gradually as needed over approximately 3 weeks to a maximum dose of 0.4 mg/kg/day (to a maximum 17 mg/day).
Follow your prescribing provider's instructions for how much to take and when to make changes.
