Overview

Inovelon is an epilepsy medicine used to treat patients aged one year or older who have Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a rare type of epilepsy that usually affects children but which can continue into adulthood. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is one of the most severe forms of epilepsy in children. Its symptoms include multiple types of seizure (fits), abnormal electrical activity in the brain, learning disability and behavioural problems. Inovelon is used as an add-on to other anti-epileptic medicines.

Lennox-Gastaut syndrome is rare, and Inovelon was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 20 October 2004.

Inovelon contains the active substance rufinamide.
