Why is Zonegran prescribed?

Zonegran is a prescription medication used in combination with other drugs to treat partial seizures in adults and adolescents aged 16 years and older.

What does it do?

Zonegran belongs to a class of medications known as anticonvulsants. Zonisamide helps control seizures by reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

How should I take it?

Take Zonegran with or without food once or twice a day based on your prescription. Swallow the capsules whole without chewing.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Zonegran, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one. Do not take two doses at the same time.

What are the special precautions before taking Zonegran?

You may not be able to use Zonegran if you have a history of severe allergic reactions to sulfa drugs.

Before starting Zonisamide, be sure to discuss with your doctor if you are taking any of the following:

• Rifampin (Rifadin), typically used to treat tuberculosis
• Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, such as Acetazolamide (Diamox)
• Medications that cause drowsiness or dizziness, such as prescription pain relievers, sleep aids, or medications for anxiety
• Divalproex sodium, valproate sodium (e.g., Depakote), or valproic acid, which are used to manage seizures and other medical conditions

Some medications may affect the levels of Zonisamide in your blood. Be sure to inform your doctor about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently used.

How should I store it?

What action should I take in case of overdose?

Get emergency help immediately as it can trigger suicide attempts, hypo-tension and bradycardia.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Pregnancy: Zonisamide may cause harm to an unborn baby. Inform your doctor immediately if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. They will help determine whether zonisamide is appropriate for you during pregnancy or while trying to conceive.
