There is a new drug partial onset seizures coming out.

It's called Syncompa

I see my neuro next month, and will discuss the drug.


Belinda:e:
 
Do you have a link to the info? The googles of the interwebz does not see it.

I'm not interested in it as an option, I'm just interested in it. ;)
 
Sorry I don't have a link to it.I tried my best to find it and if I do I will put up the link.

Yes I 'm sure the name is syncompa.
I talked to my neuro and had him spell out the name of the drug for me.
 
If its fycompa , I have been on it since last year it has reduced the severity of my sz but I still haven't got control. I take it along with zonisamide and phenytoin.

Belinda has already said it isn't Fycompa.

Are you sure it is called Syncompa? There is a new one with a similar name, Fycompa, or Parampanel as the name the FDA uses.

I know my neuro told me last summer about a new med that was coming out for epilepsy. He said he was going to consider putting me on it but he wanted to find out more about it first.

I know I wrote the name of the med down. Can't remember where I put it though, imagine that. I'm pretty sure it started with an 'S'.
