Stiripentol: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect
Indication:
Stiripentol is indicated as an add-on treatment for Dravet syndrome, a rare and severe type of epilepsy that begins in early childhood. It is used in combination with other anti-seizure medications like clobazam and valproate when seizures are not well controlled. Stiripentol helps reduce the frequency and severity of seizures by increasing the effect of GABA (a calming chemical in the brain), which helps stabilize brain activity. It is not used alone and is specifically approved for patients who are 2 years of age and older with Dravet syndrome.
Dosage:
Stiripentol is used as an add-on treatment for children with Dravet syndrome, a rare and severe form of epilepsy. The usual starting dose is around 10 mg per kg of body weight per day, divided into two or three doses. The dose is gradually increased over time, usually up to 50 mg/kg/day, depending on how well the patient responds and tolerates it. Stiripentol is taken by mouth, with or without food, and is always used alongside other seizure medications, such as clobazam and valproate.
