In July, the FDA granted approval for Azurity鈥檚 Zonisade (zonisamide oral suspension) 100mg/5mL as an adjunctive treatment for partial seizures in adults as well as paediatric epilepsy patients aged 16 years and above.
Given once or twice a day, Zonisade is said to be the first zonisamide formulation for oral liquid dosing to receive FDA approval in this indication.
Zonisamide鈥檚 efficacy and tolerability were validated in three placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicentre trials.
To date, the safety of efficacy of the therapy is not validated in people aged below 16 years.
