What is Zarontin?

Zarontin is a prescription drug that controls seizures in patients with petit mal or absence epilepsy, a nervous system disorder that causes brief seizures of less than 15 seconds. Absence seizures sometimes are barely noticeable.

The active ingredient in Zarontin, ethosuximide, belongs to a class of drugs called anticonvulsants. Epileptic seizures are caused by the repetitive, overexcited, and abnormal firing of nerve cells in the brain, usually triggered by a situation or other stimulus. Zarontin prevents the repetitive firing of nerves by reducing the brain's excitability.

Zarontin is taken as a tablet or oral solution once or twice daily. Zarontin is usually prescribed to children.
