Banzel (Rufinamide) Information

Banzel (rufinamide) is an oral anticonvulsant medication used as an adjunctive therapy (added on to other treatments) for seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) in adults and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older. LGS is a severe form of epilepsy characterized by multiple types of seizures, cognitive dysfunction, and a poorly formed electroencephalogram (EEG). Rufinamide's approval is specifically targeted to this challenging syndrome, helping to reduce the frequency of drop seizures and other seizure types associated with LGS. It is not generally used as a first-line treatment for other, more common forms of epilepsy. Its efficacy and safety have been established through clinical trials focusing on patients with this rare and debilitating condition.

The precise mechanism by which rufinamide exerts its anti-seizure effect is not fully understood. However, its primary action is believed to involve the sodium channel. Rufinamide prolongs the inactive state of voltage-gated sodium channels, particularly the slow-inactivating component, which is thought to stabilize hyperexcitable neuronal membranes. By limiting the sustained, repetitive firing of neurons, the drug helps to dampen the excessive electrical activity in the brain that causes seizures. This mechanism is distinct from many other anticonvulsants, making it a valuable addition to combination therapy for complex seizure disorders like LGS. Banzel is available as a prescription-only medication in both oral tablet and oral suspension forms. Dosing is often weight-based in children and must always begin at a low dose, gradually titrated (increased) over several weeks.
