The FDA has approved FINTEPLA® (fenfluramine) oral solution, CIV, for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) in patients two years of age and older. FINTEPLA is already approved as a treatment for Dravet syndrome in patients 2 years of age and older.
Please note that FINTEPLA is available only through the FINTEPLA Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program due to the risk of valvular heart disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Please see additional IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION, including Boxed Warning, below.

FINTEPLA has demonstrated efficacy in the most difficult to treat seizure types, including drop seizures, which cause a person to suddenly lose muscle tone, become limp, and fall to the ground, with a high likelihood of injury. FINTEPLA has a mechanism of action different from and complementary to current seizure medications, and it can be used with no disruptions to current antiseizure regimens. In the global placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical study, there were numerically greater improvements on the Clinical Global Impressions scale (CG-I) in patients living with LGS when taking FINTEPLA.
