Table of contents
Overview
Ztalmy is a medicine used to treat epileptic seizures in children from 2 to 17 years of age who have a condition known as cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) deficiency disorder. These patients can continue taking Ztalmy when they become adults if a clear benefit has been observed.
The medicine is used in combination with other anti-epileptic medicines.
CDKL5 deficiency disorder is rare, and Ztalmy was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 13 November 2019. Further information on the orphan designation can be found on the EMA website.
Ztalmy contains the active substance ganaxolone.
