1 | epilepsy | My 6 year old son began this med (to address EEG abnormalities) with an increasing dosage schedule. He developed a bad rash that looked similar to this: soft-water-skin-care.com/image-files/types-of-skin-rash-01.jpg Apparently, this is a known (although rare) side-effect of Banzel. After stopping the med, it took about 10 days for the rash to disappear. | M | 6 | 3 weeks 200 mg 2X day | 3/8/2010 |
BANZEL (RUFINAMIDE): Rufinamide is used with other medications to prevent or control seizures (epilepsy) associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). This medication is an anticonvulsant. Rufinamide is thought to work by acting on the sodium channels in the brain that carry excessive electrical charges that may cause seizures.
