Zarontin is used to control absence epilepsy, also known as petit mal epilepsy, in adults and children over 3 years of age. These seizures are characterized by staring, subtle body movement and brief lapses of awareness. They’re usually brief, and typically no confusion or sleepiness occurs when the seizure is over.
Before using Zarontin tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Also let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney disease, and if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine or dietary supplements.
