Fenfluramine

Uses

Fenfluramine is used to treat seizures.

How it Works

How Fenfluramine works Fenfluramine helps reduce seizures by influencing serotonin, a chemical in the brain that regulates nerve activity. It increases serotonin levels and activates specific receptors, such as 5-HT2C, which calm overactive nerves, resulting in less frequent and severe seizures. This makes it beneficial for difficult-to-treat conditions like Dravet Syndrome, where other treatments may be less effective.
