Triazine anticonvulsants


A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.

Triazine anticonvulsants act on presynaptic sodium channels and inhibit the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, glutamate and aspartate. Triazine anticonvulsants are used to treat absence seizures, partial seizures, tonic-clonic seizures and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
