It is also effective in managing Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy that begins in early childhood. The medication works by decreasing the abnormal and excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain, thereby controlling seizures. While it is effective, it may cause side effects such as dizziness and sleepiness. It is important to take this medication as prescribed and not to stop it suddenly without consulting a doctor, as this may increase seizure frequency. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctors before using this medication due to potential risks to the baby.
