About this item
DESCRIPTION:

Zonisamide is an anti-seizure drug from the Sulfonamide class. It is unlike all other seizure control medications in that it is an anticonvulsant. It can be used as part of a seizure control regimen, or it can be prescribed as an initial treatment for epilepsy.

Key Benefits:

  • Although Zonisamide does not have a proven mode of action, it is believed to block certain brain sodium channels, which decrease the activity of nerve cells.
  • This prevents abnormal cell firing, and it can also affect levels of brain calcium.

    Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs.
