How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Rufinamide). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
The precise mechanism(s) by which rufinamide exerts its antiepileptic effect is unknown.
The results of in vitro studies suggest that the principal mechanism of action of rufinamide is modulation of the activity of sodium channels and, in particular, prolongation of the inactive state of the channel.
Rufinamide is extensively metabolized but has no active metabolites.
Food increased the extent of absorption of rufinamide in healthy volunteers by 34% and increased peak exposure by 56% after a single dose of 400 mg tablet, although the T max was not elevated [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ].

Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Rufinamide). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
- Rufinamide is contraindicated in patients with Familial Short QT syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ].
The most common (≥3%) adverse reactions with an incidence greater than in placebo for rufinamide were somnolence, vomiting, and headache.
