Afalino is indicated for the treatment of partial-onset seizures in adult patients.

Cenobamate is a positive GABA-A modulator which inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels. Inhibition of voltage-gated sodium channels increases the threshold for generating action potentials and decreases the number of action potentials. Its dual, complementary mechanisms of action may contribute to superior anti-seizure activity.

Potential adverse effects such as Multiorgan hypersensitivity reaction, QT shortening, and Suicidal thoughts. Somnolence and fatigue should be periodically re-evaluated. During Afalino therapeutic regimen, patients are advised not to drive or operate machinery. Afalino should be gradually withdrawn to minimize the potential or increased seizure frequency.

Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) / Multi-Organ Hypersensitivity: Discontinue if no alternate etiology.

QT Shortening: Use caution when administering Afalino with other drugs that shorten the QT interval

Suicidal Behavior and Ideation: Monitor patients for suicidal behavior and ideation.

Neurological Adverse Reactions: Monitor for somnolence and fatigue and advise patients not to drive or operate machinery until they have gained sufficient experience on Afalino. Concomitant use with other CNS depressants or alcohol may have additive effects.

Withdrawal of Antiepileptic Drugs: Afalino should be gradually withdrawn to minimize the potential of increased seizure frequency

Adjunct anti-epileptic drugs
