Zarontin (active ingredient: ethosuximide) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Absence Seizures: Zarontin is used for the treatment of absence seizures (petit mal seizures) in patients with epilepsy.

Zarontin belongs to a class of drugs known as succinimide anticonvulsants, which work by reducing the frequency of seizures through modulation of calcium channels in the brain.

Zarontin comes in the form of apsules to take by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily.

Dosage is based on your age, medical condition, blood levels of ethosuximide, and response to treatment. For children, the dosage may also be based on their weight. However, the initial dose for patients 3 to 6 years of age is one capsule (250 mg) per day; for patients 6 years of age and older, 2 capsules (500 mg) per day. The dose thereafter must be individualized according to the patient’s response.

Your doctor will start you on a low dose and slowly increase your dose. It may take several weeks or months to reach the best dose for you and to get the full benefit from this medication. Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time(s) each day. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
