📋Overview
Fintepla is a medication that contains fenfluramine, a compound originally developed as an appetite suppressant. It is now primarily used in the management of certain rare and severe forms of epilepsy, such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. These conditions are characterized by frequent, hard-to-control seizures that begin in childhood. Fintepla works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain to help reduce the frequency of these seizures.
