Chemical Name: Zonisamide
|
Zonegran Information: Zonisamide is an anticonvulsant used to control certain type of seizures.
Do not take zonisamide without first talking to your doctor. If you have ever had an allergic reaction to a sulfa drug such as sulfamethoxazole (Gantanol, others); sulfisoxazole (Gantrisin, others); or sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (Bactrim, Bactrim DS, Septra, Septra DS, Cotrim, others) - you may also have an allergic reaction to zonisamide.
Take zonisamide exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
Take each dose of zonisamide with a full glass of water. Also, drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day to help prevent the formation of kidney stones. Swallow the zonisamide capsule whole. Do not crush, chew, or break them. Store zonisamide at room temperature away from moisture and heat
Zonisamide can be taken with or without food.
It is important to take zonisamide regularly to get the most benefit.
Do not stop taking zonisamide without first talking to your doctor, even if you feel better. It is important to continue taking zonisamide to prevent the seizures from recurring. Stopping zonisamide suddenly may result in increased seizure frequency. If the medication needs to be stopped, your doctor may need to lower the dosage gradually.
If treatment with zonisamide is stopped for any reason, contact your doctor before restarting the medication. A lower dose may be needed to prevent side effects from occurring.
