Zonisamide is a medicine in the “antiepileptic” category. Antiepileptics stabilise the brain's electrical activity to prevent seizures; they are taken regularly and are not stopped abruptly.
For Zonisamide, in practice: Treats epilepsy and, for some, neuropathic pain. It is most often a long-term treatment, taken at set times over long periods; its benefit is judged over time, not by how you feel on a given day.

Do you need a supplement? No.
For Zonisamide, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation is seriously justified as an addition to this treatment, and we would rather write that than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; outside of those, we do not sell for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five products.
