What is Felbamate?
Felbamate is an anticonvulsant medication primarily used to treat refractory epilepsy and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of childhood-onset epilepsy. It functions by inhibiting excitatory neurotransmission and enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission, which helps in stabilizing nerve activity in the brain.
