Overview:

Amoxil
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Zonisamide is used primarily as an anticonvulsant for the adjunctive treatment of epilepsy. The precise mechanism by which Zonisamide exerts its antiseizure effect is unknown, although it is believed that the drug blocks sodium channels which leads to the suppression of neuronal hypersynchronization (i.e. convulsions). Likewise Zonisamide has also been found not to potentiate syanptic activity by GABA (gamma amino butyric acid). Adjunctive treatment of partial seizures in adults with epilepsy.

Mechanism Of Action:
Zonisamide binds to sodium channels, voltage sensitive calcium channels and to a lesser extent carbonic anhydrase. This blocks or suppresses neuronal depolarization and hypersynchronization.

Brand Names/Synonyms:
Amoxil is also known by the following brand names and/or synonymsAD-810; Aleviatin; CHEMBANK2998; CI-912; Exceglan; Excegram; Excegran; Zonegran; Zonisamida [Spanish]; Zonisamide; Zonisamide [Usan:Ban:Inn:Jan]; Zonisamidum [Latin]

Drug Category:
Amoxil is categorized under the following by the FDA: Antioxidants; Anticonvulsants; ATC:N03AX15

Dosage Forms:
Capsules or tablets

Absorption:
Time to peak concentration is 2.8-3.9 hours

Interactions:
-->Interactions for Zonisamide:

Effects of ZONEGRAN on the pharmacokinetics of other antiepilepsy drugs (AEDs): Zonisamide had no appreciable effect on the steady state plasma concentrations of phenytoin, carbamazepine, or valproate during clinical trials. Zonisamide did not inhibit mixed-function liver oxidase enzymes (cytochrome P450), as measured in human liver microsomal preparations, in vitro. Zonisamide is not expected to interfere with the metabolism of other drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 isozymes.

Effects of other drugs on ZONEGRAN pharmacokinetics:

Drugs that induce liver enzymes increase the metabolism and clearance of zonisamide and decrease its half-life. The half-life of zonisamide following a 400 mg dose in patients concurrently on enzyme-inducing AEDs such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, or phenobarbital was between 27-38 hours; the half-life of zonisamide in patients concurrently on the non-enzyme inducing AED, valproate, was 46 hours. Concurrent medication with drugs that either induce or inhibit CYP3A4 would be expected to alter serum concentrations of zonisamide.

Interaction with cimetidine: Zonisamide single dose pharmacokinetic parameters were not affected by cimetidine (300 mg four times a day for 12 days).
