Ethosuximide is an antiepileptic medication containing the active ingredient ethosuximide. It is used to treat absence seizures, a type of epilepsy characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness and staring. Ethosuximide works by affecting the brain to help control the abnormal electrical activity that causes these seizures. It is administered orally in the form of capsules or syrup. Dosage is prescribed by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s age and seizure severity. Following the prescribed dosage, administration frequency, and treatment duration is essential for safety and effectiveness.
