ATC Code: N03AX10
Drug Class: Anti-Convulsant
General Properties:
Felbamate is the bis(carbamate ester) of 2-phenylpropane-1,3-diol. An anticonvulsant, it is used in the treatment of epilepsy. It has a role as an anticonvulsant and a neuroprotective agent.
Felbamate is an anticonvulsant drug used in the treatment of epilepsy. In particular, in the adult patient population, it can be employed to treat partial seizures (with and without generalization).

Felbamate is an Anti-epileptic Agent. The physiologic effect of felbamate is by means of Decreased Central Nervous System Disorganized Electrical Activity.
Indication:

It is also used in children to control partial and generalized seizures caused by Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
