How it is used
Inovelon can only be obtained with a prescription. The dose of Inovelon depends on the patient’s age and weight and whether the patient is also taking valproate. Treatment in children less than 4 years of age generally starts with a daily dose of 10 mg per kilogram body weight. In older patients, treatment usually starts with a dose of 200 or 400 mg daily. The dose is then adjusted every other day according to the patient’s response to treatment. Inovelon should be taken with water and food. The daily dose is divided into two halves, taken morning and evening about 12 hours apart. The medicine should not be used in patients who have severe problems with their liver.
How it works
The active substance in Inovelon, rufinamide, acts by attaching to special channels (sodium channels) on brain cells that control their electrical activity. By attaching to the channels, rufinamide prevents them switching from an inactive state to an active state. This dampens down the activity of the brain cells and prevents abnormal electrical activity from spreading through the brain. This reduces the likelihood of a seizure occurring.
