The oral suspension is available in two sizes: 250 mg 60 packs and 500 mg 60 packets, and the price is about 3300 yuan and 6000 yuan per box, respectively, for patients to choose flexibly.

The following special populations need to be taken with special care when using medications:
There are no data on the presence of Stiripentol in breast milk, or the effect on lactating infants and milk production. The benefits of breastfeeding, the mother's need for Stiripentol, and the possible effects of the drug on the infant need need to be weighed.
Pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies in patients with renal insufficiency have no clear results. The metabolites of stitail are excreted mainly through the kidneys and are not recommended for patients with moderate or severe renal impairment.
Special populations should consult with their doctor before using the drug to develop an individualized medication regimen. There are also some potential side effects associated with medications.
According to clinical trials, the common drug side effects are sorted out as follows:
Agitation refers to an abnormal state of excitement that may manifest as agitation, irritability, irritability, or overactivity. This emotional instability may interfere with the patient's daily life and social interactions.
Ataxia is a manifestation of poor motor coordination, and patients may have unsteady gait, clumsy hand movements, or difficulty coordinating movements. This symptom can affect the person's balance and ability to walk, increasing the risk of falls.
Patients should pay attention to their own drug reactions and seek medical attention for intervention in time when corresponding symptoms occur.
[Warm tips] The doctor will carefully assess the patient's specific situation and closely monitor the drug concentration and various functional indicators. Patients should also follow their doctor's instructions to take their medication on time and in the right amount.
