- Diagnosis of treatable seizure aetiology such as metabolic, toxic, and infectious disorders.
- Primarily generalised seizures.
- Known rapidly progressive neurological disorders (e.g. rapidly progressive brain disease, epilepsy secondary to rapidly progressive cerebral lesion).
- Seizures of non-epileptic origin.
- Diagnosis with Epileptiform Encephalopathies (Early Myoclonic Encephalopathy, Ohtahara syndrome, West syndrome [current], Dravet’s syndrome, or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome).
- Uncontrolled cardiac (including atrioventricular block and other clinically significant electrocardiographic abnormalities), renal, hepatic, endocrine, gastrointestinal, metabolic, haematological, or oncology disorders.
- Hypersensitivity to the active substance, to other carboxamide derivatives (e.g. carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine), or to any of the excipients, in particular methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E218) or sulphites.
- Relevant clinical laboratory abnormalities (e.g. sodium <130 mmol/L, alanine or aspartate transaminases >2 x the upper limit of normal, white blood cell count <3000 cells/mm3) (measured at Visit 1).
- Any other condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the subject’s ability to comply with the study protocol.
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate below the lower limit of the normal range as shown below for the corresponding age of the subject (measured at Visit 1).
- Known presence of HLA-A*3101 allele.
