FELBATOL (felbamate) is an oral anti-epileptic agent approved in 1993 as a suspension formulation for treating epilepsy and anemia. The mechanism of action is not fully understood, but felbamate demonstrates anticonvulsant activity through multiple pathways including antagonism at the strychnine-insensitive glycine recognition site of the NMDA receptor and weak effects on GABA and benzodiazepine receptors. It is positioned as a broad-spectrum anticonvulsant capable of reducing seizure spread and increasing seizure threshold across multiple seizure types.
