Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Eprontia Work?
Eprontia works by blocking sodium channels and enhancing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It also reduces the activity of glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter. These combined effects help to stabilize electrical activity in the brain, preventing seizures and reducing the frequency of migraine headaches.
Common Dosages
- 25 mg/mL
Typical Dosing
- For epilepsy: The typical starting dose for adults is 25 mg to 50 mg daily, which may be increased gradually based on the patient's response.
- For migraine prevention: The typical starting dose is 25 mg once daily, which may be increased to a maintenance dose of 100 mg daily.
