Diacomit is a prescription medicine used to treat seizures associated with Dravet syndrome. Dravet syndrome is a rare chronic form of epilepsy that begins in the first year of life and causes frequent or prolonged seizures.
Diacomit is for use in adults and children at least 6 months old and weighing 15 lbs (7 kg) or more who also take another medicine called clobazam.
There is no clinical data to support the use of Diacomit alone to treat Dravet syndrome.
Primarily used as adjunctive therapy for treating Dravet Syndrome (a rare, severe form of epilepsy) in children.
Usually combined with clobazam and valproate.
Enhances GABAergic transmission (the brain’s natural calming system).
Inhibits enzymes that break down anti-epileptic drugs, increasing their effectiveness.
Drowsiness or sleepiness
Decreased appetite and weight loss
Nausea
Coordination problems (ataxia)
Agitation or behavioral changes
Prescription-only medicine
Diacomit can cause drowsiness, especially if you also drink alcohol or take other medicines that can make you sleepy. Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any you start or stop using. Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how this medicine will affect you.
A small number of people have thoughts about suicide while taking Diacomit. Stay alert to changes in your mood or symptoms. Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor.
Four steps to access the medicines you need
Submit a request for a specific medicine, or a general request, and your Patient Support Manager will contact you within 24 hours. They will be there to support and guide you in anyway possible to help you get the medicine you need.
Â
Since we help patients access medicines not available in their home country, our first step is to check that the medicine you need is not currently available in your home country. Next we will also verify that you have a prescription from a doctor in your home country for the medicine you need.
Once we have verified your prescription and medical details, our expert sourcing team will work with our global network of suppliers to find you the best price. Once we have found you the lowest possible cost for your medicine, we will present you with a final offer for your approval.
